Tequila Ocho Single Estate Anejo Las Raices 2024
Tequila Ocho Single Estate Añejo Las Raíces 2024 – Highland Single Estate Añejo Tequila
Tequila Ocho Las Raíces 2024 Single Estate Añejo is a beautifully aged, terroir-driven tequila that captures the soul of one of the Highlands' most character-rich ranches. Crafted from agave grown exclusively on the Las Raíces estate in the high-elevation soils of Los Altos (Highlands), Jalisco, this release reflects the unique soil, elevation, and microclimate of the field — a hallmark of Ocho's philosophy of transparency and provenance.
Aged in oak to develop warm spice, honeyed sweetness, and silky depth, Las Raíces 2024 remains unmistakably agave-forward. A refined, limited-production añejo that appeals to collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone who values tequila with a true sense of place.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Caramelized agave, vanilla bean, dried citrus peel, warm baking spices, and toasted oak

- Finish: Long, warming, and gently spiced with lingering sweetness and highland minerality
Pairing Suggestions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes the Las Raíces estate unique?
Its high-elevation soils and microclimate in Los Altos, Jalisco produce agave with exceptional sweetness and minerality, resulting in a bright yet complex flavor profile that is distinctly different from lowland tequilas.
What is Tequila Ocho's single estate philosophy?
Tequila Ocho is one of the few tequila producers that practices single estate, single field, single year production — similar to vintage wine — meaning every bottle is traceable to a specific ranch, harvest, and year. No two releases are ever identical.
How long is this añejo aged?
Ocho ages its añejos just long enough to add depth and character while keeping the agave front and center. The exact duration varies by release, but the focus is always on preserving estate terroir rather than heavy oak influence.
Is this a limited edition?
Yes — as a single-estate, single-harvest tequila, it is produced only once from the 2024 harvest and will never be repeated. Once it's gone, it's gone.
