An aperitif from my last bottle of the 2020 La Loma single estate agave harvest, Tequila Ocho Plata. Wearing a Stetson One-hundred this afternoon. When this bottle is empty I’m going to cry. By far the best harvest I’ve had.

The Camarena family own something like 47 agave fields; different climates, altitudes, soils, average daily temperatures, water, incline, etc. Experience has taught them that the best agave is harvested at 8 yrs of age; not younger, not older. So they harvest their various agave fields at that age. It turns out that the various fields of agave & the tequila they will produce are more akin to various grape vineyards & wines they produce, due to the variables listed above. A good sipping tequila blanco can be as varied & complex as the wine produced by a complex grape harvest, or the best Single Malt Scotch Whisky from one of the various regions (terrains) of Scotland. Therefore certain bottles from harvests are highly sought out.
I didn’t discover the 2020 La Loma harvest until probably 2022. By then the harvest was mostly sold out & limited to a few bottles found on shelves here & there. I have a fav liquor store owner who has his distributor sales rep searching back rooms & warehouses for old stock for me. I think I managed to come up with 7 bottles, this one being the last of those. Anything out there now will probably come in a trade or at great mark up from a private collector/individual (like the Frog Morten’s).
Since 2022 I have bought bottles from 8-10 other agave fields & harvests. Some were quite good also but not good enough to get me to buy cases & put away while still available. But my search will continue.
If you’re just after cactus juice then stick with Cuervo.
