At Sorbito’s intimate tasting room within The Sin Gusano Project, a Tuesday evening transforms into a concentrated study of agave and time when Ocho Tequila’s global brand ambassador Jesse Estes takes the microphone. The room is in London, a city of endless bars, but this event strips away the usual noise to focus on provenance: single-estate bottlings, vintage variation and how terroir shows through glass. Guests arrive at 6pm for an Ocho Tequila paloma, find their places around the calibrated Sorbito dispensers, and settle in for a 6:30pm presentation that blends storytelling with precise pours.
What makes this tasting exceptional is the lineup. Expect Plata 2025 from Capulin Estate, Plata 2023 Potrero Grande, Plata 2020 Cerro del Gallo Red and a rare Plata 2008 Las Pomez, plus additional expressions such as Puntas, Reposado 2025 and Añejo 2025. Several bottles will come from Jesse Estes’ personal collection—vintages and limited releases collectors rarely see in public. A pre-stocked tasting machine ensures consistent small pours so attendees can compare mouthfeel, aromatic lift and finish without guesswork.
The format favors learning: Jesse explains estate differences, harvest conditions and how production choices influence flavor. Salted nibbles keep palates grounded, and a £10 Sorbito tasting-card credit lets you revisit a favorite bottle after the formal portion. Because the event is deliberately limited in size, questions are welcome and conversations linger; bartenders, collectors and curious travelers all walk away with notes they can reference later.
This tasting occupies a unique niche in London’s beverage scene. Instead of cocktail-focused spectacle, it centers on raw material and craft continuity across years—a tasting of time as much as tequila. For visitors to the city who prioritize culinary knowledge, or for local enthusiasts seeking rare bottlings, this evening offers access and context that typical bar pours do not.
Practical tips: arrive on time to catch the welcome drink; pace yourself through the vintage samples; use your Sorbito credit to compare two expressions side by side. The event is adult-focused—confirm age restrictions at booking—and spaces are limited, so reserve early. Whether you’re building a collection, researching spirits professionally, or simply chasing an unforgettable tasting in London, this Ocho Tequila vintage event is a focused, flavorful way to spend an evening with one of the brand’s most knowledgeable ambassadors.
Beyond the bottles, Sorbito’s approach to service matters: the calibrated dispensers minimize waste while delivering repeatable pours, and staff keep the pace educational rather than performative. Locals appreciate that The Sin Gusano Project programs focused evenings rather than long menus, so this tasting becomes a destination night instead of background noise. If you care about origin stories, vintage comparison and tasting technique, this is among the efficient, informative tequila experiences you book in London.

The Sin Gusano Project is a London-based specialist that curates focused tastings and events dedicated to agave spirits, including mezcal and tequila. The project offers public masterclasses, seasonal thematic sessions, ticketed pairing evenings, and private, small-group tastings led by experienced hosts. Events take place in London venues and in private-home settings when noted, presenting rare bottles, vintage expressions, and producer-driven selections. Signature experiences include introductory tastings that explain the differences between tequila and mezcal, region-focused masters like the Mexican Road Trip, terroir-driven sessions that reveal how land and production shape flavour, and limited-seat events such as vintage Ocho tequila tastings. Seasonal and celebratory gatherings—New Year’s Eve early and late sessions, cheese and mezcal pairings, and inaugural meetings with guest experts—extend the calendar offering. The Sin Gusano Project works with recognised figures from the agave world; sessions feature hosts such as Jon, who conducts private tastings of exceptional mezcals, and guest experts including Gaby Moncada and Jesse Estes at curated events. Reservations, ticket terms, and venue hours are communicated per event; for example, some sessions note that Sorbito closes at 10 pm. Refund and booking policies are set per offering, including refundable first-drink terms for certain reservations. Focused on education and exploration, The Sin Gusano Project combines carefully selected spirits, storytelling, and guided tasting technique to help attendees deepen their appreciation for agave drinks. Attendees range from curious beginners to experienced collectors seeking rare mezcal and tequila perspectives, with tickets and capacity limited for more attentive, educational tastings and thoughtful conversation.
