Philosophy and commitment

Manufacture and special characteristics
818 Tequila is produced in the Jalisco region, the heart of tequila production. The blue Weber agave used for this tequila grows for at least seven years before it is harvested in order to achieve optimum ripeness and sweetness.
Traditional harvesting and processing
The agave hearts, also known as piñas, are traditionally cooked and crushed after harvesting to extract the sweet agave juice. This juice is fermented and then double-distilled in copper stills to obtain a pure and aromatic tequila.
Maturation and varieties
818 Tequila offers several varieties that are characterized by different maturation times and barrel storage:
- Blanco: Unaged tequila that is bottled directly after distillation. It is characterized by clear, fresh agave aromas and a light citrus note.
- Reposado: This tequila is aged for at least eight months in oak barrels, which gives it a golden color and additional flavor nuances of vanilla and caramel.
- Añejo: Matured for at least one year in oak barrels, this tequila offers complex aromas of oak, chocolate and spices.
