This bottling comes from a single field, the Salto de Nogales estate, with agave harvested in 2026, and it is the second release of the Barrel Proof Reposado after the 2025 debut from Rancho Las Raices. It is rested up to six months in barrels previously used for American whiskey, roughly three times as long as the core Ocho Reposado, blended from only a couple dozen barrels at a time, and bottled without chill filtration at 50.5% ABV (101 proof). It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 101 proof (50.5% ABV), barrel proof, no chill filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salto de Nogales, single estate, agave harvested 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to six months in ex-American whiskey barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequilera Los Alambiques, Arandas, Jalisco Highlands, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Single Field, Bottled at Full Strength\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike every Ocho, this tequila is made from a single field harvested in a single year, so each edition tastes of one place and one harvest. The agave is slow-cooked in stone ovens, fermented in wooden vats with native airborne yeast, and double-distilled in copper pot stills with nothing added but water. The longer rest and barrel-proof bottling keep the bright, agave-forward Highlands character the house is known for, with more wood and weight behind it. Annual allocations are small and each year's estate is different.

The palate brings coffee, cacao, tobacco, cooked agave and candied apples, with rosemary and smoky cinnamon, and the finish is exceptionally long and warming, sweet agave and peppery spice lingering with a final whisper of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlos Camarena recommends drinking it neat, and at barrel proof that is where the estate character shows best. A few drops of still water open the cacao and red fruit, and it also makes a rich, agave-forward base for a spirit-forward cocktail when you want the tequila to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does barrel proof mean for Tequila Ocho Reposado?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is bottled at the strength it comes from the barrel, 101 proof (50.5% ABV), without chill filtration or dilution to the standard proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich estate is the 2026 Barrel Proof Reposado from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalto de Nogales.
