The Tequila Ocho origin story begins with Carlos Camarena, a fifth-generation farmer and third-generation tequilero and Tomas Estes, responsible for bringing tequila culture to Europe, who came together with the goal of proving that the concept of terroir exists for tequila as it does for fine wine. The result is a tequila that is the purest expression of the Blue Weber Agave.
