818 Tequila is a premium tequila brand that has taken the world by storm with its smooth and sophisticated taste. The brand was founded by Grammy award-winning artist Kendall Jenner and her partner, Maurice Tequila, with the goal of creating a tequila that is both high-quality and approachable to all. The name 818 is a nod to the area code of Calabasas, California, where Jenner grew up and where the brand’s distillery is located.
The brand’s tequila is crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, which is known as the birthplace of tequila. This region is renowned for its ideal growing conditions for agave, the main ingredient in tequila. The agave used in 818 Tequila is grown on the estate of the distillery, ensuring the highest quality and control over the production process. The distillery itself is a state-of-the-art facility that combines traditional methods with modern techniques to create a truly exceptional tequila.
818 Tequila offers three different expressions: Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. Each expression is made with 100% Blue Weber agave and is aged in American oak barrels for different lengths of time. The Blanco is unaged, providing a pure and crisp taste with hints of citrus and agave. The Reposado is aged for 8 months, resulting in a smooth and well-balanced tequila with notes of vanilla and caramel. The Añejo is aged for 24 months, giving it a rich and complex flavor with a hint of oak.
What sets 818 Tequila apart from other tequila brands is its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The brand uses recycled glass for its bottles and has implemented sustainable practices in its distillery to reduce its carbon footprint. Additionally, 818 Tequila has partnered with the non-profit organization, Charity: Water, to help provide clean and safe drinking water to communities in need.
