Tasting Notes and Characteristics:A sip of Tequila Ocho Plata instantly awakens the senses with its vibrant, peppery aroma and a rush of fresh agave sweetness that lingers on the palate. Crafted in Mexico from 100% blue Weber agave, this tequila captures the sun-drenched essence of Jalisco’s highlands, offering crisp notes of citrus zest, green olive, and a subtle earthiness that speaks to its terroir. With an alcohol by volume of 40.00%, Tequila Ocho Plata is lively yet smooth, making it an ideal companion for bright dishes like ceviche or grilled shrimp—the clean flavors enhance seafood’s natural brininess while balancing spice and acidity. This is tequila in its purest form: expressive, authentic, and made for savoring alongside good food and great company.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.
