The 818 Tequila brand took the world by storm upon it’s release in May 2021, and, after it’s huge success as a best-selling tequila in the US, it was released in a second country - the UK - just a few months later in November 2021 for the Brits to enjoy. Many bought 818 Tequila Añejo out of curiosity, to find out what all the hype was about - but were quickly blown away by it’s sweet and smooth taste, rich mix of flavours and pleasing aroma.
The 818 brand was founded by Kendall Jenner; model, entrepreneur, and ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star. Jenner is known for expressing her huge passion for the agave spirit, and says her award-winning 818 Tequila Blanco is ‘simply perfect’. She’s certainly kept to the authentic Mexican tequila-producing methods and traditions, working closely with local family-owned agave farms and distilleries in Jalisco, Mexico.
818 Tequila Añejo is one of three tequilas of the 818 brand alongside 818 Tequila Blanco and 818 Tequila Reposado. Whereas Blanco tequilas are aged for between 2 months and not at all, and Reposado tequilas are aged for 2 months to a year, Añejo tequilas are aged for over 1 year, giving them that special aroma and uniquely rich taste.
818 Tequila is produced using traditional methods in Jalisco, Mexico at a family-owned-and-operated distillery. 818 Tequila Añejo is made from 100% Blue Weber Agaves, hand-picked by jimadores and slowly roasted in brick ovens for 40 hours by a family business in Jalisco, then aged in French oak barrels for 1 year before being exported to the UK.
818 celebrates not just its exceptional taste but also its unique bottle shape; reaching optimum design so that each bottle is individually handcrafted in the shape of an '8' – an everlasting symbol of eternity. The inviting red label encircled by white reminds us to take time out for moments we cherish and those we get to share together. Make every moment count and raise your glass with 818 Eight Reserve Anejo Tequila.

Tannins with a tea-like edge end the drink in memorable style.

Jose Cuervo Anejo 1800 is an exceptional offering for one of our favourite tequila distilleries. Aged for over a year and selective French oak casks, each bottle of this tequila has been prepared to perfection. The aroma is rich in roasted coconut, toffee and a woody floral depth. This leads into a flavour which is equally woody, with the spice coming through in the form of cracked black pepper. The end note is dry yet immensely satisfying, wonderful for sipping at leisure.
Jose Cuervo Reposado 1800 is a further edition to the 1800 series of tequilas from Jose Cuervo. Rested for just six months in American and French oak casks, this tequila is a bittersweet, light offering which is exceptionally easy to drink. Light coconut and vanilla flavours come through in the nose with spicy pepper and cinnamon coming through too. The taste begins sweetly, with butterscotch taking centre stage but then leading into familiar notes of vanilla and charred vegetables.
