The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of vanilla, oak, and caramel, complemented by a subtle hint of smoked agave.
Palate
On the palate, Eight Reserve is smooth and luxurious. Layers of butterscotch, chocolate, and roasted agave are balanced by a soft oakiness and a touch of spice from the ageing process.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla and a woodsy undertone that reflects its Extra Añejo heritage.
Pairing Suggestions
Eight Reserve is perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, but it also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, smoked meats, or a creamy dessert like crème brûlée. For a sophisticated cocktail, try it in an Old Fashioned or a Tequila Manhattan.
Product Heritage
818 Tequila was founded in 2020 by Kendall Jenner, who named the brand after the area code of her hometown, the San Fernando Valley in California. Jenner’s vision was to create a premium tequila that not only tasted exceptional but also supported sustainable and ethical practices.
818 Tequila uses 100% Blue Weber Agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens to enhance its natural sweetness. The agave is then fermented using natural yeast strains and double-distilled in copper pot stills for a smooth, refined finish.
The brand is committed to sustainability, employing water recycling and energy-efficient processes at its family-owned distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. 818 Tequila also supports local farmers, ensuring fair wages and sustainable farming practices.
