2024 Tierras Negras | This is such a good bang for your buck brand. You can’t go wrong with Ocho. This blanco has such bright aromas and flavors from the terroir. Nose: sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, minerals, brine, and very floral. Palate: sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, minerals, brine, and earth. Great mouth feel with a medium finish. Such a great sipper.

2024 Mirandillas | When it comes to bang for your buck, tequila Ocho is a leader of the pack. This year’s blanco showcases the strengths of this generational powerhouse. On the nose I get a butter crème, sweet potato, orange peel, lime wedge, tangerine, mint, cardamom, and anise. On the palate, the citrus hinted at on the nose encompasses the palate. Subtle earthiness, mineral, and pepper notes come through after peeling back the layers of citrus marmalade. The finish is good, but nothing to write home about in terms of length & no additional notes are detected on the finish. Delicious, refreshing, accessible.

2024 Mirandillas | The aroma and finish are both really good but what stands out is the taste. It’s full of earthy sweetness and roasted agave! This is a stand out for Ocho for me.

2024 Mirandillas | Nose: Agave bomb, I keep getting hints of something else but it’s quickly overwhelmed by agave. This is, at least on the nose, my favorite expression of Ocho so far. Some light floral notes, but agave is INTENSE. Palate: Agave, ever so slightly floral. Much rounder than previous expressions of Ocho in my experience. Very oily. Maybe a little citrus. Overall, quite good. Not my favorite Ocho so far, but very good. New bottle, it may open up and grow on me some more.

2024 Tierras Negras | A typical well made Ocho Plata with agave, citrus, earth and some pepper. Pleasing finish that has some lingering sweetness as the ethanol fades.

2022 La Cañada | Nose: Nearly overwhelming agave. Sweet, citrusy, a touch of petrichor. Agave is the star of the show. Palate: Agave bomb. There’s something there that just lets you know you’re drinking a Carlos Camarena distillate. Cinnamon, and behind the agave, a fruity note wants to come out. A little bit of orange peel. Well bodied, oily, medium long finish. This is top quality. Here in California, Ocho can regularly found for $34.99 and I’d say that you’d be hard pressed to find a better sipper at that price.

2024 Mirandillas | Much more back of the throat than some recent production this just glides over the tongue. This has a nice creamy viscosity on entry and the finish is long, sweet and of medium length. 23 27 23 5 5 7

2024 Mirandillas | Nose: Beautiful natural light sweetness. Crisp, white pepper, fresh, cooked agave. Herbal backend of mint, bell pepper, and maybe a hint of olive and lavender. Palate: Medium pleasant body. Thick viscosity. Very clean, crisp and airy. Ochos aeration process is really on point. Palate evolutes into a rich cooked agave with white fruit elements. It’s no secret that Ocho Plata is my favorite high quality and high value blanco around. This is not my favorite batch but still great.

2023 Corralillos | Aroma: A significant amount of lime citrus up front, combined with sweet agave, a vibrant minerality, some herbal notes and some hints of salty cucumber. Flavor: Hits with a real punch of sweet and salty agave, with lots of citrus as well. The mouthfeel is slightly thin, not overly complex but definitely a solid blanco. Finish: A dry finish, leaves behind a fair bit of citrus that fades into lightly bitter yet tasty notes of black pepper.

2024 El Zapotito | Nose: Crisp and fresh. Lemon/lime zest. A shake of cinnamon and subtle baking spice. Fragrant cooking agave aromas. Background mineral teases. Flavor: Starts with a yin and yang heat and sweet cycle. Medium bodied. Baking spices still making peekaboo appearances. Agave presents with light colored fruit flavors.

2024 Mirandillas | Wonderful agave aroma, very bright and almost menthol. Slightly spiced on that deep sniff. In the mouth it’s thick, agave, anise, vegetal. Melty finish with enough bite to remind you it’s a blanco while at the same time very gentle and well balanced.

2024 Tierras Negras | Nose: Faint cinnamon, minerals. Slightly metallic. (Canned pineapple?). Green pineapple and trace green peppercorns. Flavors: More pronounced pepper punch than the aroma promised. Sweetness and fruitiness presents upon tasting. Spicy kicks along the way. Pleasurable palate feel, with salinity on the fade out.

2022 El Nacimiento | Nose: sweet agave / pepper/ earth / minerals/ hint of vegetal / citrus / lime / hay / orange blossom/ salt Taste: sweet agave cooked / pepper/ hint of vanilla/ earth / vegetal / cinnamon / citrus/ melon / lime / anise / lemongrass / tea / peppermint / hint of tobacco/ hint of cream soda Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel with a bit of cool water effect / rain water taste and feel / a small but tasty sweetness happens briefly at the front of the sip but as the juice moves back more and more earthy bitter and vegetal tastes take over with a lingering brine and slightly bitter finish This blanco keeps leaning towards earth, pepper, vegetal, and bitter for the majority of the taste. A sweet cooked agave is present for a short time but is overwhelmed by the other flavors that are good, but my feeling is there should be more balance to the flavors instead of such heavy contrast from start to finish.
