Distinctive Agave Single Barrel Bundle

Tequila Tromba Single Barrel Reposado S1B48

Signaling the beginning of the Mexican summer, Tromba is the life-giving rainstorm that brings change to los Altos, the famed tequila producing region of Jalisco. It was this force of change that inspired Marco Cedano, Tequila Tromba founder and Master Distiller, when, despite the naysayers, he embarked on a journey to bring true craft tequila to the world. A true pioneer of tequila craftsmanship, Marco entered the world of tequila in 1974 with Don Julio. This started a journey which would see him create their first batch of 100% agave tequila, revolutionizing the category and creating the new standard for premium tequila. Following the sale of the distillery, unwilling to accept shortcuts to his recipe and yearning for more than a corporate role, this master craftsman followed his passion to create Tequila Tromba. Joined by his son Rodrigo, he employs his unwavering standards, precision and decades of experience to guide him and continue his journey to challenge people to drink true craft tequila.

From Kati Alexander, Topflight Series Panel Member: 

Uniquely Distiller-owned, Tequila Tromba is the essence of marrying authentic old-world tradition with today's new possibilities. Tromba's founder, Marco Cedano, and his son Rodrigo continue the family legacy of producing premium tequilas that are soft and rich in flavor. The Barrel #118 Single Cask Select Reposado, hand-selected by ReserveBar, harnesses the best of Tequila Tromba's soft complexity. Pale in color, this reposado has bright aromas of citrus and butterscotch. While sipping, you'll appreciate a lush and silky mouthfeel with honey, candied lemon, and pistachio flavors. As you explore this unique tequila, you'll find hints of coconut and rich caramel — evidence of its 8 months spent in American white oak casks. Left on your palate is lingering butterscotch and a balanced delight that can be described as pistachio dipped in honey. This single cask offers a silky, warm, and sweet experience that will surely put a smile on your face.

Tequila Ocho Single Barrel Añejo S1B46

Ocho is proof of Terroir in tequila. This aged, high-proof tequila comes from a unique barrel selected for its exceptional aromas and flavors. Bottled at cask strength, Ocho's single barrels are unique and unrepeatable expressions to be sipped neat for the richest agave-forward experience. Even after a year in a barrel, the agave profile from the same field where grown and harvested is evident to be experienced by the most discerning agave spirits drinkers. This higher-proof single-barrel expression of Ocho's Añejo tequilas is unique and an excellent alternative for the tequila aficionado looking to enhance, or bring variation to, the tequila sipping experience.

From Kati Alexander, Topflight Panel Member:

Tequila Ocho is known for its slow, artisanal way of making tequila — with great care and precision. Master Distiller and co-founder Carlos Camarena is a 5th generation agave farmer and 3rd generation Tequilero whose great-grandfather is credited with being the first to bring blue Weber agave to Jalisco! With such a rich family history and connection to the land, it's no surprise that our Tequila Ocho Single Estate Single Barrel delivers incredible quality. Pale in color, this Añejo provides delicate aromas of lime sherbert, buttercream, cedar, and white pepper. Upon your first sip, you're met with a burst of green apple Jolly Rancher, with a hint of butterscotch and a silky mouthfeel. The flavor continues building into juicy lime, a bit of cinnamon spice, and a wonderfully long finish. This single barrel was used once for American whiskey, then several tequila fillings before this aging. It's soft, complex, and well-balanced despite its high proof. Delicious!
