Tequila Ocho Las Raíces 2024 Single Estate Añejo

Product Description

Tequila Ocho "Las Raíces" 2024: The Largest Ranch in Ocho's History

Tequila Ocho is the perfect example of how terroir fully manifests in tequila. Rather than blending for consistency like most brands, Ocho harvests only the ripest agave from a single field each year, allowing that specific place, its soil, elevation, microclimate, and vegetation, to shape the character of every bottle. "Las Raíces," meaning "the roots," is located 7.5 kilometers east of Los Alambiques, a gentle hillside sloping south at an altitude of 7,145 feet, divided by a small forest of ash, oak, and poplar. Its soil is the typical red clay of Los Altos, rich in iron and potassium, and in the last 25 years agave has been planted on this land only twice.

With approximately 142,000 fully matured agave plants, Las Raíces is the largest ranch ever used for Tequila Ocho production, yielding an estimated 3,500 tons in 2024 with an average piña size of 55 pounds and 32 percent sugar content, some of the ripest, most concentrated agave Ocho has ever worked with. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown exclusively on this estate, this Añejo reflects the unique clarity and mineral-driven purity that high-elevation Los Altos terroir is known for, aged in oak just long enough to develop richness, warm spice, and honeyed depth without ever letting the agave character take a back seat.

As a single-estate, single-harvest release, Las Raíces 2024 is produced only once and will never be repeated once this vintage sells through, a genuine snapshot of one place and one growing season captured in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramelized agave, vanilla bean, dried citrus peel, warm baking spices, and toasted oak.

Palate: Silky and expressive, with roasted agave, honey, cinnamon, ripe orchard fruit, and subtle cocoa.

Finish: Rich and lingering, with warm spice, honeyed sweetness, and clean, mineral-driven agave clarity.

Food Pairings

This bright yet complex Añejo pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its warm spice and honeyed character. Try it alongside roasted pork, grilled peaches, or a charcuterie board with dried citrus and toasted nuts, or lean into its sweetness with spiced apple tart, flan, or dark chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Tequila Ocho "Las Raíces" 2024 is best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass, allowing its layered aromas and evolving complexity to fully open up. Given its single-harvest rarity, this is a tequila meant to be savored slowly rather than mixed, ideally shared with fellow enthusiasts who appreciate a genuine sense of place in the glass.
