Rancho Coralillos/Potrero Grande (2023 Vintage) – Limited Release

Experience a remarkable fusion of heritage and terroir with this exceptionally rare Tequila Ocho Aejo. This limited 2023 release represents a unique collaboration, marrying the unparalleled agave-forward character of Tequila Ocho with the esteemed legacy of Kentucky’s Old Fitzgerald Distillery.

Two distinct expressions, born from agaves harvested in 2023 from the celebrated Rancho Coralillos and Rancho Potrero Grande, will be released simultaneously. Each bottling offers a fascinating glimpse into the nuanced terroir of these single estates, showcasing the distinct artistry of the land and the distiller.

Aged for 12 months in highly coveted oak barrels that previously cradled Old Fitzgerald Bourbon’s acclaimed 10-Year-Spring 2023 Decanter Series, this Aejo achieves a captivating balance. The rich, sweet notes imparted by the bourbon barrels gracefully intertwine with the vibrant, herbaceous essence of meticulously cultivated agave. Bottled at a robust 96-proof, this is a truly special spirit destined to become a prized addition to any discerning collection.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Expect an inviting bouquet of warm caramel and vanilla, layered with notes of cooked agave, subtle spice, and a hint of dried fruit. Depending on the Rancho, you might find brighter citrus notes from Coralillos or earthier undertones from Potrero Grande.
• Palate: The palate unfolds with a luxurious smoothness, where the caramel depth from the Old Fitzgerald barrels harmonizes beautifully with the inherent sweetness and vegetal complexity of the single-estate agave. Hints of toasted oak, cinnamon, and perhaps a touch of dark chocolate emerge, leading to a satisfyingly full body.
• Finish: The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of sweet caramel, gentle spice, and the distinct, clean character of high-quality agave. Subtle nuances reflective of the specific Rancho will continue to evolve on the palate.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of tequila and bourbon history. Secure your bottle of Tequila Ocho ‘Old Fitzgerald’ Barrel Aejo a testament to craftsmanship, terroir, and the art of collaboration.
