1800 Tequila

1800 Tequila takes its name from 1800 — the year tequila was first aged in oak barrels — and produces its full lineup from 100% Blue Weber agave in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, one of Mexico's most prized growing regions. The result is a comprehensive range spanning unaged blancos through ultra-premium extra añejo, all built on the naturally sweeter, more fruit-forward agave character that highland farming produces.

The 1800 Lineup

1800 Silver — The unaged flagship. Bright, agave-forward, and clean — the backbone of Margaritas and palomas, with the double-distilled purity that highland Blue Weber produces. 1800 Reposado — Rested two months in American and French oak barrels. The oak adds vanilla, light caramel, and a gentle rounding to the agave's natural sweetness without burying it. 1800 Añejo — Aged over one year in American and French oak. Richer, more complex, and smooth enough to sip neat — the step-up expression for those moving from cocktails to sipping tequila. 1800 Cristalino — The añejo charcoal-filtered for crystal clarity. All the oak-developed complexity of the añejo with a smoother, lighter, crystal-clear presentation. 1800 Milenio Extra Añejo — The prestige expression, aged in French oak Cognac barrels for an ultra-premium character that rivals aged Cognac in its complexity. 1800 Coconut, Watermelon, Peach, Mango — Flavored expressions on the same 100% agave base, designed for cocktails and casual sipping.

What is 1800 Cristalino?

An añejo tequila charcoal-filtered after aging to remove the amber color while retaining the vanilla, caramel, and oak flavors developed during barrel aging. Crystal-clear appearance with aged-tequila depth — the fastest-growing style in premium tequila.
