Brand Background and House Style
1800 Tequila is crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco region of Mexico, the traditional heartland of tequila production. Using only pure agave, rather than a mixto blend, places the brand in the premium tequila category and delivers a fuller, more authentic agave character.
The brand is part of the portfolio of Proximo Spirits and connects to the Cuervo family's long history in Mexican tequila production. 1800 has built its identity around presenting aged and premium tequila in a modern, design-forward package, appealing to both cocktail enthusiasts and those who enjoy tequila neat.
The house style emphasizes clean agave flavor with the character of each expression shaped by its aging regimen. Reposado and añejo bottlings gain oak influence from barrel maturation, while the blanco showcases bright, unaged agave notes ideal for mixing.
The 1800 Range and What to Expect
The core lineup typically includes 1800 Silver (an unaged blanco with crisp, peppery agave notes), 1800 Reposado (rested in oak for a smoother, lightly spiced profile), and 1800 Añejo (aged longer for deeper vanilla, caramel, and oak character). These form the backbone of most retail selections.
1800 also produces flavored and specialty offerings, including coconut-flavored tequila and other seasonal or fruit-forward variations designed for easy mixing. At the top of the range, premium expressions like 1800 Cristalino present an aged tequila that has been filtered to a clear appearance while retaining aged complexity.
When choosing, consider your intended use: blanco and flavored bottlings shine in margaritas and mixed drinks, while reposado and añejo reward sipping neat or over a single ice cube. The recognizable angular bottle makes any expression a striking addition to a home bar.
