Tequila Ocho Plantation Jamaican Rum Cask Finish 70cl
Brand: Tequila Ocho | Category: Extra Añejo Tequila (Cask Finish) | ABV: 44% | Origin: Jalisco, Mexico | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
When two worlds of terroir collide, something extraordinary happens. Tequila Ocho, the single estate tequila champion of Jalisco, joins forces with Plantation Rum of the Caribbean to create a truly rare Extra Añejo. Aged in traditional oak, then finished in Jamaican rum casks, this bottling delivers an unexpected marriage of ripe agave and tropical molasses, wrapped in vibrant wood spice. A collector’s dream. A connoisseur’s delight.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep and exotic. Roasted agave, vanilla bean, and spiced banana bread rise with hints of papaya, toffee, and faint smoke, like a night market breeze from Mexico to the Caribbean.
Palate: Rich and multilayered. Candied pineapple, stewed agave, and toasted oak mingle with hints of Jamaican funk, earthy, spicy, and slightly tropical. The rum cask adds lift without overpowering the tequila’s soul.
Finish: Long and evolving. Caramelized agave, tropical spice, and a gentle whisper of ester-driven rum fade into soft oak and warm sweetness.

Production Details:
Distilled from 100% blue Weber agave harvested from a single estate (rancho), then aged as an Extra Añejo in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in Jamaican rum casks from Plantation. Bottled at 44% ABV with no additives, pure craft, bold innovation.

Perfect For:
The agave explorer, the cask finish collector, or anyone curious enough to taste what happens when tequila meets tropics. Ideal for sipping neat, no garnish, no distractions.

Expert Notes:
This limited edition release bridges two worlds: the structured, earthy elegance of Ocho and the funky, fruit-driven energy of Plantation. Critics call it one of the most successful tequila cask experiments in recent years, complex, seamless, and boundary-pushing.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "The rum cask brings a whole new dimension — I didn’t know tequila could taste like this."
🗣️ "Funky, smooth, and deeply satisfying. A must-try for both tequila and rum lovers."
🗣️ "It’s a conversation in every sip — bold, balanced, and beautifully strange."

Interesting Fact:
This bottling is part of a global collaboration series where Tequila Ocho explores secondary cask finishes, a practice rare in tequila due to strict regulations. The Jamaican rum cask, however, stands out for its ability to enhance rather than mask the agave’s core.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat in a wide-mouthed nosing glass. Let it breathe, each minute reveals new layers. Pair with spiced dark chocolate, grilled plantain, or aged cheeses with tropical notes.

Distillery Background:
Tequila Ocho, created by the legendary Carlos Camarena and the late Tomas Estes, is the pioneer of vintage- and estate-designated tequila. Every release is a study in place, harvest, and patience. This rum cask finish shows they’re not afraid to innovate but always with integrity.
