When two terroir-driven spirits collide, the result is nothing short of extraordinary. Tequila Ocho Plantation Barbados Rum Cask Finish is a limited-edition Extra Añejo that brings together the vibrant agave character of Jalisco and the rich, tropical warmth of Barbados rum casks. It’s part of Ocho’s celebrated cask-finish series, where tradition meets exploration, and where a single estate tequila takes on unexpected new life with a second aging journey across the sea.

Tequila Ocho Plantation Barbados Rum Cask Finish
Brand: Tequila Ocho | Category: Extra Añejo Tequila (Cask Finish) | ABV: 43% | Origin: Jalisco, Mexico | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: A fragrant balance of agave and island warmth. Roasted agave, caramelized pineapple, and dried coconut rise alongside vanilla bean, citrus peel, and a whisper of cane syrup, exotic but rooted in tradition.
Palate: Silky, full, and evolving. Notes of spiced rum cake, agave nectar, and tropical fruits glide over the tongue, followed by a subtle oak-driven structure. The rum cask adds lush sweetness and softness without overpowering the tequila’s earthy heart.
Finish: Lingering and elegant. A slow fade of molasses, peppered spice, and dried mango that feels both grounded and adventurous.

Production Details:
Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown on a single estate, this tequila is double distilled in copper stills, then aged as an Extra Añejo in American oak before receiving a secondary finish in Plantation Barbados rum casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, this is a bold experiment in transcontinental aging with each batch offering a slightly different flavor imprint.

Perfect For:
Collectors, cask finish lovers, and those looking to bridge the worlds of agave and cane. Ideal for slow sipping after dinner, gifting to serious spirits fans, or enjoying alongside a curated tasting flight.

Expert Notes:
Part of Tequila Ocho’s acclaimed limited-edition cask series, this expression is lauded for its balance with the rum influence complementing, not masking, the agave’s signature minerality. A standout for tequila purists and adventurous palates alike.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "A seamless fusion of agave and rum, tropical without losing that tequila soul."
🗣️ "You get the best of both worlds here. Agave up front, Barbados warmth on the finish."
🗣️ "It’s like sipping across two continents in one pour. Wildly elegant."

Interesting Fact:
Ocho is the first tequila brand to label its bottles with both vintage and estate, treating agave like wine terroir. This rum cask series takes that philosophy further, highlighting not just where the tequila comes from, but where else it can go.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat in a wide tulip glass to appreciate the interplay between agave and rum. Add a drop of water to tease out tropical notes, or pair with grilled pineapple, plantain chips, or dark chocolate with sea salt for a full flavor experience.

Distillery Background:
Tequila Ocho was founded by legendary agave grower Carlos Camarena and tequila advocate Tomas Estes. Produced at La Alteña distillery in Arandas, it’s known for pioneering the concept of vintage tequila, where each batch tells a story of time, place, and the soil it came from. With the Plantation rum cask finish, that story continues across oceans.
