The 2024 Tequila Ocho Plata Puntas Single Estate Blanco Tequila is an extraordinary expression that captures the essence of pure agave in its most vibrant and unfiltered form. Tequila Ocho, renowned for its commitment to producing terroir-driven tequilas from single estates, delivers an exceptional blanco that highlights the heart and soul of each harvest. This limited edition "Puntas" bottling focuses on the purest, most concentrated cut of the distillation—the "puntas" or "heads"—which contains the most intense flavors and aromas of the agave.
On the nose, this blanco tequila bursts with freshness and bold, vibrant agave notes. The signature sweet and herbal characteristics of highland agave are immediately present, with layers of green pepper, fresh mint, and earthy sweetness. There's a crispness to the aroma, enhanced by hints of citrus—lemon and lime zest—along with a touch of white pepper and a faint mineral note that speaks to the estate's unique terroir. The purity of the puntas cut adds an almost floral brightness, making the nose both invigorating and complex.
The first sip reveals a powerful yet balanced profile, showcasing the depth of flavor that Tequila Ocho is known for. The agave is front and center, delivering a burst of sweet, grassy, and peppery notes. The body is robust and full, with a silky texture that coats the palate. Intense flavors of cooked agave blend with refreshing citrus, green apple, and a hint of fresh herbs like cilantro and thyme. There's a subtle salinity that enhances the natural sweetness of the agave, giving it a well-rounded and layered mouthfeel.
As the tequila opens up, additional nuances begin to emerge. A slight peppery spice builds, balanced by a touch of minerality and the sweetness of honeydew melon and pear. The puntas cut adds a concentrated richness, amplifying the agave's inherent complexity while maintaining a smooth, clean finish. Each sip carries the essence of the single estate, offering a snapshot of the land, climate, and care that went into crafting this remarkable tequila.
The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, with lingering notes of agave sweetness, white pepper, and a touch of citrus zest. The purity of the puntas cut ensures a clean yet bold finish, leaving behind a lasting impression of agave richness and vibrant, earthy flavors.
