Product Information

With a spicy body and well-founded finish, this is a premium sipping tequila. Presented in a beautiful bottle inspired by the pyramids of the Mayans, this is a great gift for tequila lovers. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV)in the United States, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia but at a mere 76 proof (38% ABV) in Mexico. It would take some time for the Cuervo family to embrace their distilling calling, but by 1880 the family had started commercially producing their spirits for sale. Known originally as “mezcal de Tequila” (mezcal from the town of Tequila), the Mexican government eventually — after much lobbying — allowed them to designate their spirits as a unique appellation known simply as “tequila.” The very first bottle of Jose Cuervo Tequila rolled off the line in 1906 and a massive new category of distilled spirits was born.

I like that I can really see the contents of the bottle, and that it isn’t obscured or masked by a giant label. Especially with something this dark and beautiful (artificial coloring notwithstanding), being able to see the spirit through the glass is something I appreciate. However, it is important to avoid mixing Tequila with sugary sodas as it can negate the benefits. Does it have carbs? Is it Keto friendly?

Does it freeze?My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation. Generally speaking, Añejo tequilas tend to feel smoother on the palate, thanks to their one to three years spent in aging in oak barrels.

This tequila is suspiciously dark. Usually an anejo tequila maxes out somewhere in the light golden to amber color range, but this is almost a solid brown. It is entirely possible that those older expressions blended in have changed the color, but it’s probable that the artificial coloring is bringing some “unnatural enhancement” to the end result.

How do you drink 1800 Añejo?

The 1800 Tequila brand was formed as a subset of Jose Cuervo in 1975. Produced at the same facility and using the same materials as the famous Jose Cuervo tequila, this brand was designed to produce a superior sipping spirit for the higher end market. The 1800 date comes from the first year when oak barrels were first used to age tequila. Product When serving it, make sure to use large ice cubes to avoid dilution, as watered-down Tequila is not ideal.
