This is a rare, crossover añejo that genuinely delivers on both sides—bourbon depth and agave purity. The Old Fitzgerald Barrel Select “Las Raíces” shows rich caramel, cacao, and spice layered over vibrant, earthy agave, amplified by its 96 proof structure. A highly collectible, enthusiast-level tequila with real substance behind the story.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Tequila Ocho, a leader in single-estate, terroir-driven tequila, this release comes from the Las Raíces field, highlighting the unique character of that specific harvest.
Key production elements:
- 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested from a single estate
- Crafted by Carlos Camarena using traditional methods
- Aged approximately 12 months in Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon barrels
- Bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV) for added intensity and structure
The use of Old Fitzgerald barrels is critical:
- Wheated bourbon casks impart softer, sweeter oak influence
- Adds layers of caramel, vanilla, and baking spice without overwhelming the agave
The result is a tequila that maintains:
👉 Clear agave identity
👉 While gaining depth, richness, and texture from premium bourbon casks
