Altos de Jalisco

It's a whole different beast because this is essentially like contract production as well, where for it to be tequila, it has to be made in Mexico.

And ours is made in Los Altos, the highlands of Jalisco.

And then we have our master distiller that's overseeing production.

And then we have to import it into the States and then work on the... trying to navigate all these different states' laws and hoops and politics.

some 2007 releases, but 2008 was when we really kind of really showcased our brand.

And as a matter of fact, our name Ocho comes when they first decided to do different estates of different areas of, uh, of, of Los Altos in the highlands.

Which by the way, we're our, uh, tequila that comes from the highlands of Los Altos.

If you look at where Jalisco is, um, on towards the left of it you have where is the valley region where the town of Tequila exists.

On the right side is where this beautiful big mountain, um, and above this big mountain is this area called Arandas.

So the fructans is what we're gonna be converting into sugar for fermentation process.

High amount of fructans when it comes to the higher altitude.

Now wonderful tequilas come out of the valley, I would never knock any of those, but we like to think that what comes out of Los Altos in the highlands, the higher altitude produces some really wonderful and interesting flavors that really represent what Ocho is.
