818 Tequila offers four distinct expressions: 818 Tequila Blanco (unaged), 818 Tequila Reposado (aged a minimum of 3 months in French and American oak barrels), 818 Tequila Añejo (aged over 1 year in French and American oak barrels), and Eight Reserve by 818, a masterful blend of Añejo and Extra Añejo tequilas aged up to 8 years.
818 Tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber Agaves, carefully sourced from the Los Valles region in Jalisco, Mexico. They partner with skilled jimadores and a distillery that is a significant grower of organic Blue Weber agave.
Yes, 818 Tequila is a Certified B Corporation™ and deeply committed to sustainability. Their distillery runs on biomass and solar power, they repurpose agave byproducts into adobe bricks for local communities, and their packaging (bottles, corks, labels) is made from recycled or sustainably sourced materials. They also donate 1% of their gross annual revenue to environmental partners through "1% for the Planet."
All 818 Tequila expressions are bottled at 40% ABV (Alcohol By Volume).
818 Tequila follows a meticulous production process. It involves waiting at least 7 years for agaves to reach peak maturity, slow-cooking them in traditional ovens for 30+ hours, crushing them with motorized stone Tahona pits for juice extraction, natural fermentation, and double distillation in hand-built copper alembic pot stills. The Reposado and Añejo expressions are then aged in American and French oak barrels.
