Very limited edition Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Select Widow Jane 2022. This rare tequila — only 1,000 cases made — is aged for 8 weeks and 8 days in used bourbon barrels plucked from another of our recent MAXIM Spirit of the Week labels, the Brooklyn-based Widow Jane Distillery.
“This limited edition reposado reflects Ocho’s philosophy on agave-forward tequila by showcasing the terroir of the agave used, while bringing some notes of vanilla, oak and caramel from the Widow Jane barrels to create a pleasant and well-balanced spirit,” explains Carlos Camerena, third generation maestro tequilero at La Alteña Distillery near Arandas, Jalisco. “I am certain it will appeal to the palates of both tequila and whiskey aficionados.”
