Is 818 Tequila additive-free?

Yes. 818 Tequila is produced without additives — no glycerin, sugar, oak extract, or coloring. The brand has positioned itself around three principles: additive-free production, sustainability practices (composted bagasse, recycled glass bottles, water reclamation at the distillery), and award-winning quality.

What's the difference between 818 Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo?

818 Blanco is unaged with bright agave and citrus notes — ideal for margaritas and cocktails. 818 Reposado is aged 2 months in American oak, developing vanilla and light caramel alongside the agave character. 818 Añejo is aged over a year in American oak with deeper caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit notes — designed for neat sipping. All three are made from 100% blue Weber agave with no additives.

Why is it called 818 Tequila?

The 818 in the brand name references the area code of Calabasas, California, where founder Kendall Jenner grew up. The number is meant to connect the brand to its founder's roots, even though production happens at a family-owned distillery in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico.

Who Owns 818 Tequila?

818 Tequila was founded by Kendall Jenner in 2021. The brand name references the area code of Calabasas, California, where Jenner grew up. While the brand is celebrity-owned, production takes place at a family-owned distillery in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico, using traditional tequila-making methods.

Jenner has been actively involved in product development since the brand's founding, and 818 has positioned itself around three principles: sustainability (the agave bagasse is composted, the bottles are made from recycled glass, and the distillery uses water reclamation), additive-free production (no glycerin, sugar, or coloring), and award-winning quality (the brand has won multiple medals at major spirits competitions since launch).

The 818 Tequila Lineup

818 Blanco. Unaged 100% blue Weber agave tequila. Tasting notes include cooked agave, citrus, vanilla bean, and a smooth, slightly sweet finish. Excellent in margaritas, palomas, and tequila highballs. The most popular 818 expression and the most-searched specific SKU.

818 Reposado. Aged in American oak barrels for 2 months, developing notes of vanilla, light caramel, and toasted oak alongside the bright agave character. A balanced expression that works for both sipping and premium cocktails.

818 Añejo. Aged in American oak barrels for over a year, with deeper notes of caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and warm spice. Designed for neat sipping and after-dinner enjoyment.

How Much Does 818 Tequila Cost?

818 Tequila retails between approximately $50 and $80 depending on the expression. Blanco is the most affordable at the entry price, Reposado sits in the middle, and Añejo represents the premium end of the lineup. Specific pricing on each 818 SKU at Wooden Cork is shown on the product pages below.

Among premium tequila enthusiasts, 818 is generally regarded as a legitimate craft-quality brand rather than a marketing-driven celebrity vanity project.

How to Drink 818 Tequila

818 Blanco is designed for premium cocktails — margaritas, palomas, tequila highballs, and tequila cocktails where the agave character should be present but balanced.

818 Reposado works for both sipping neat and in stirred cocktails like a tequila Old Fashioned (2 oz Reposado, ¼ oz agave nectar, 2 dashes orange bitters, orange peel garnish).

818 Añejo is built for neat sipping. Pour into a tulip-shaped tequila glass at room temperature and let it open up before tasting. Pairs well with dark chocolate or aged cheeses.
