Tequila Ocho Releases Plata Puntas 2024
Tequila Ocho has announced the release of Tequila Ocho Plata Puntas 2024, the brand’s third release of the overproof expression, and its highest ABV to date.
Agaves used to make the single-field Plata Puntas 2024 were harvested solely from Rancho Mirandillas, a field named after the small Highlands town in eastern Jalisco that it neighbors, which is just over an hour northwest from Arandas, home to Tequila Ocho’s new Tequilera Los Alambiques. With maximum sunlight and a robust rotation of crops previously, Rancho Mirandillas has produced the purest, ripest agave, with a very high 31% sugar content for the piñas.
Bottled at 54% ABV (108 proof), Tequila Ocho Plata Puntas 2024 is described as exhibiting aromas of “agave, dried fruits, and salted chocolate,” and tasting notes of “cacao spiciness, butterscotch, and a long, creamy finish.”
The USA allocation of Tequila Ocho Plata Puntas 2024 is 21,000 bottles and it is now available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $74.99 for a 750 mL bottle.
