Tequila Ocho Extra Añejo “La Cañada” 2022 Single Barrel Highlands Tequila 750ml (40% ABV)

This is a terroir-driven, vintage tequila at its most refined, delivering depth from aging without losing its agave soul. The 40% ABV version of La Cañada 2022 is notably more elegant and composed than higher-proof counterparts, emphasizing balance, texture, and clarity. A serious Extra Añejo for purists—built on restraint, not excess.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by the Camarena family in the Highlands of Jalisco, this release is part of Tequila Ocho’s pioneering single-estate, vintage-dated philosophy. The agave is sourced exclusively from the La Cañada ranch, a high-altitude site known for red soils, rocky terrain, and concentrated agave character.

Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, the tequila is traditionally produced—slow-cooked, naturally fermented, and distilled to preserve site-specific expression.

It is aged for approximately three years in used American whiskey barrels, just enough to qualify as Extra Añejo while maintaining the integrity of the agave.

🚨 Key distinction:
This bottling is 40% ABV (80 proof)—a more restrained version compared to higher-proof releases—resulting in a profile that highlights precision, elegance, and integration over intensity.
