818 Tequila Blanco

Celebrity-backed tequilas are not a particularly new phenomenon on the spirits scene, but 818 Tequila from model and actress Kendall Jenner has been much anticipated in 2021. Named after the area code for Calabasas, California, where the Kardashian-Jenner clan has lived for years, 818 Tequilas are a collection of Blanco, Reposado and Añejo tequilas. Jenner announced that after “dozens of blind taste tests, trips to our distillery, entering into world tasting competitions anonymously and WINNING. 3.5 years later i think we’ve done it!”. 818 Tequilas garnered awards at several competitions, including the “Best Reposado” at World Tequila Awards and the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

All handcrafted and small batch tequilas, the agave are handpicked from the lowlands and highlands of Jalisco. The distiller’s registration number suggests 818 Tequilas are distilled at La Cofradia distillery, famed for its wide range of award-winning tequila brands.

Known as the purest expression of the agave spirit, Blanco tequilas are aged for up to 2 months or not at all. 818 Blanco Tequila is an unaged tequila, handcrafted from 100% blue Weber agave. A smooth premium tequila, it boasts a clean and balanced palate with flavors of sweet fruit and a touch of pepper. Bottled at 80 proof, it’s perfect for sipping neat and versatile enough to elevate any cocktail.
