Each glass reveals subtle layers of vanilla and spice from careful aging in ex-bourbon barrels, making it an ideal companion for grilled steak or a square of dark chocolate. Tequila Ocho Añejo invites you to savor tradition and complexity with every pour.Producer Information: La Alteña DistilleryLa Alteña Distillery, nestled in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, was founded in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena with a vision rooted deeply in the region’s volcanic soil and cool climate. The distillery is celebrated for its traditional approach to tequila production, using estate-grown blue Weber agave harvested at peak maturity and slow-cooking them in brick ovens before crushing with a tahona stone. This meticulous process preserves the agave’s natural flavors and highlights the terroir unique to Arandas. Beyond their flagship El Tesoro tequilas, La Alteña crafts Tapatio and Villa Lobos tequilas, each expressing distinct profiles shaped by local water sources and fermentation techniques that reflect Jalisco’s highland character. Their commitment to small-batch methods and family stewardship has established La Alteña as a benchmark for authenticity within Mexico’s artisanal spirits landscape.
