Tequila Ocho Extra Anejo El Refugio 2012

Velvety, expressive, and unapologetically artisanal—this Extra Añejo reveals the heart of single-estate tequila. Harvested from Rancho El Refugio in 2012, these high‑altitude agaves brim with natural sweetness. Aged for just over three years in seasoned American whiskey barrels—some French oak mixed in—it’s aged but never masked. That aging whispers of toasted oak, caramel, and soft vanilla, yet the cooked agave still shines, creating a lush, nuanced sip. It’s a story in terroir and time, offering elegance and soul.

Nose: Rich cooked agave meets soft orchard fruits—pear, apple, with elegant vanilla and a hint of subtle oak spices.

Palate: Layers of roasted agave, honey butter, caramel, dried fruit, and gentle baking spice unfold in waves.

Finish: Smooth and lingering, it closes on notes of cacao, cedar, and silky custard-like sweetness.

• Indulge with crème brûlée—the caramel tones echo the tequila’s own sweet richness.
• Aged Manchego or gouda complements the oak and honey notes.
• Dark chocolate with sea salt accentuates the cacao and sweet spice layers.
