Medium-bodied, rich and golden with a creamy finish, 818 has been crafted with an obsession with authenticity.
This aged tequila is created from agaves hand-picked by skilled jimador farmers and roasted in traditional brick ovens for 40 hours.
After being distilled in traditional pot stills, 818 is then aged for two years in White Oak barrels, which adds another level of oaked vanilla flavour.
818 is the latest successful ‘celebrity tequila’, created in partnership with fashion icon and socialite Kendall Jenner.
