How It's Made
Eight Reserve is meticulously crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave, harvested at peak maturity from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, crushing to extract the sweet agave juice, which then undergoes fermentation with proprietary yeasts. After distillation, the tequila is aged for a minimum of one year in French and American oak barrels, allowing it to develop its distinctive character and complexity.

This region is renowned for its red clay soil and high altitude, which creates ideal growing conditions for Blue Weber Agave.
