The beginnings of Ocho Tequila can be traced to 1937, when the Camarenas first started making tequila. It is a collaboration between Carlos Camarena and his family and Tomas Estes, owner of multiple Mexican restaurants and bars. He has been passionately promoting and selling tequila since 1976, making him a perfect partner for the Camarenas. The Master Distiller Carlos Camarena is a third generation of tequileros, operating in Jalisco, Mexico. He is well-respected for making high-quality spirits, which have accumulated a respectable amount of awards over the years. Ocho Tequila is the culmination of the visions of these two gentlemen. Made according to tradition from 100% agaves, grown in their own fields, they always strive for perfection, never rushing the process. They are the first to mark not only the year of production on each bottle, but also specify the exact field in which the agaves were grown. "Ocho" translates to "eight" and the number is deeply ingrained in the distillery's history and operations. Out of the first samples produced by the Camarenas, the 8th was chosen. It's the number of years agaves need to fully ripen, as well as the number of kilograms of agave needed to produce a liter of Ocho tequila. It's also the exact number of days that takes for a freshly delivered batch of fruit to be turned into unaged tequila. Carlos Camarena has 8 siblings and the family has been distilling for 8 decades. Every bottle of Ocho Tequila is marked with the year of production, as well as the estate or "rancho", from which the agaves come, not unlike fine wines. This makes the bottles highly collectible. Ocho Plata Tequila is the unaged expression, made from 100% blue agave, then bottled at 80 proof. It is the purest tribute to the agaves of the Arandas region and the Camarena agave fields.

MADE BY HAND AND HEART, EACH BOTTLE OF TEQUILA OCHO IS A TASTE OF TIME AND PLACE, SHOWCASING ‘TERROIR’ IN TEQUILA. FROM FARMING TO DISTILLATION – WE HARVEST ONLY THE RIPEST AGAVES AND ALLOWING THE TIME NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE FINEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FROM THE FIELD TO THE GLASS. IT IS A PROCESS THAT ENSURES THE MOST VIVID EXPRESSION OF THE BLUE WEBER AGAVE PLANT IN EACH BOTTLE AND IS ALWAYS 100% ADDITIVE FREE.

OUR STORY BEGINS IN 2008, WHEN TWO MEN WITH A LOVE FOR AGAVE SPIRITS CAME TOGETHER WITH THE SINGLE GOAL OF PROVING THE CONCEPT OF TERROIR EXISTS IN TEQUILA, INSPIRED BY THE HERITAGE AND PROCESS SURROUNDING FINE WINE. THE FAMED CARLOS CAMARENA, A FIFTH-GENERATION FARMER AND THIRD-GENERATION TEQUILERO TEAMED UP WITH TOMAS ESTES, THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING TEQUILA CULTURE TO EUROPE. TOGETHER, THEY DEVELOPED A TEQUILA THAT IS THE PUREST EXPRESSION OF THE BLUE WEBER AGAVE; THUS, TEQUILA OCHO WAS BORN.
