818 Eight Reserve Tequila
818 Eight Reserve Tequila Añejo (often called Eight Reserve by 818) is an ultra-premium, award-winning sipping tequila crafted in Jalisco, Mexico from 100% Blue Weber agave. Developed by 818’s Master Tequileros with a singular goal—creating an exceptionally smooth, complex reserve—this expression is a masterful blend of Añejo and Extra Añejo tequilas aged up to 8 years in French and American oak barrels.
In the glass, it shows a light amber colour with copper hues and a full-bodied texture. The aromatic profile is deep and layered—vanilla, clove and cinnamon, with toasted nuts, honey, orange peel, and a dark-fruit lift that can lean toward black cherry. On the palate, it’s rich and polished, offering cooked agave, vanilla, cinnamon, dried berries, and praline, finishing prolonged and silky-smooth with elegant fruity and spiced accents.
A major part of its collectible appeal is the presentation: a handmade #8-shaped ceramic decanter crafted by local artisans in Pachuca, Mexico—a statement piece designed for gifting, celebrating milestones, and building a premium tequila collection.
