In Arandas, the fields sit side by side, yet each patch of soil tells its own story. At San Jeronimo it's rust-red and rich in iron, and that quietly works its way into every agave grown there.
Expert Description
OCHO San Jeronimo 100% Agave Single Estate Blanco Tequila is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave and bottled at 40%.
The tequila comes from the La Alteña distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, where the Camarena family, together with European spirits expert Tomás Estes, has distilled OCHO since 2007 as the world's first single estate tequila. The entire batch comes from this one field, San Jeronimo, known for its rust-red, iron-rich soil, which leaves a clear mark on the tequila's character.
