A very well balanced anejo from Ocho. Very much agave forward with great barrel notes that fallow that sweet cooked agave. Nose: sweet cooked agave, vanilla, oak, citrus, black pepper, chocolate, maple, whiskey, and barrel spice. Palate: the nose carries over to the palate with sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, vanilla, oak, whiskey, maple, chocolate, and barrel spice. This is a really enjoyable anejo that is well balanced with light barrel notes that fallow the sweet cooked agave. You definitely get the whiskey components on this one.

Tried this at the distillery on the BAT, blue agave tour, March 2025. I found it to be balanced with barrel notes, whiskey and agave. I think this could be a good expression to bridge whiskey lovers to tequila

While this has a nice nose, I like the Widow Jane slightly better. This nose is oaky and the whiskey comes through. I do get cooked agave but it is in the background. I get a touch of apple. On the palate, I get a lot of whiskey. It is oaky and citrusy. I get chocolate notes that are quite nice. The finish has more alcohol burn than the Widow Jane. Overall, I prefer the WJ but this is also nice. Don’t know where this will end up on the market price wise but right now it is pretty pricey.

Love this special release. Although it definitely has astrong whiskey overtones, the cooked agave, and spices linger on you palate.

Big time Ocho fan and big time Old Fitzgerald fan! Love this one and think it’s a great bottle for fans of both. Ocho to me is always very delicate with barrel aging, this one follows that format but also stands out.

The secret to crafting excellent bourbon barrel-finished tequilas lies in using a well-worn, heavily used barrel—one that’s distressed enough to impart rich flavor, aroma, and character to the tequila without overwhelming it with the strong oakiness and mask the agave flavor that younger barrels can bring. Brands like Ocho Widow Jane, El Tesoro Paradiso, and G4 Reposado Muerto have mastered this balance beautifully. Ocho and Carlos Camarena have also achieved remarkable results with this aged tequila expression. A true success—definitely worth trying. Enjoy!

Really well done from Ocho with this one! Lots of burnt caramel, cocoa and chocolate notes with a hint of orange zest and cooked agave sweetness. Definitely has a lot of barrel influence but the quality is there and is well balanced.

LOTE: ALA-034-OF, bottled on 24/02/2025, tasted on 4-28-25. Color: yellow to light yellow. Aroma: light cooked agave, light acidity, hint of citrus, wood note that is sometimes slightly too present and as time goes by becomes slightly dominating, the wood note also mutes agave sweetness. Hint of sourness and pepper spiciness. Palate: light sweet cooked agave with a hint of sweetness, light acidity, light hint of fruitiness that is barely noticeable because the wood note is slightly dominating, ends slightly astringent and dry. Finish is medium to medium long, hint of cooked agave with a tad of sweetness, hint of citrus and slightly dominating wood note persists.
