Harvested from the Rancho "Potrero Grande" (large space for horses) in 2016. A relatively small yield resulted in this release being limited to the Mexican market, although Carlos Camarena has kept some for "reference". This reposado tequilas was aged for two months in worn (read: neutral), ex-American whiskey barrels.

A rich, Tequila Reposado aged 8 weeks & 8 days by the Camarena family at the Ocho Distillery in Jalisco Highlands - Los Altos, Mexico aged in ex-American Whiskey barrels. It has a delicate birth with notes of agave & vanilla; while a balanced life adds notes of earth, oak, almond, vanilla & tapenade; leads to a long & smooth death with notes of pepper, caramel & zest.

A fruity aroma. A fruit flavor, almost like cantaloupe. The finish is strong mango, with some warmth.
The 2016 Los Patos (or maybe Potos) is exceptional, quite smooth,
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
