1800 Tequila Añejo commemorates the year 1800 — the first time tequila was aged in oak barrels, the moment when tequila broke with convention and did something differently to get the liquid to a smoother, more characterful place. A place good enough to savour, too good to slam. Aged in mostly French oak with a small portion in American oak for up to three years, 1800 Añejo is dark amber with copper highlights, with aromas of toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves, layers of butterscotch and chocolate, and a rich, elegant palate of agave and spices with a spicy, long, and well-rounded finish. Widely considered the connoisseur’s super premium tequila and the ultimate in sipping enjoyment — neat or on the rocks.
Appearance
Dark amber with copper highlights — the deep, rich colour of a 100% blue agave tequila aged for up to three years in French and American oak, with the warmth and depth that only genuine long-term barrel ageing can deliver.
Aroma
Toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves lead a complex and inviting bouquet, with layers of butterscotch and chocolate adding depth and richness — an elegant marriage of agave and spices that speaks of three years of patient oak ageing.
Palate
Rich and toasted oak — an elegant marriage of agave and spices with a spicy, long, and well-rounded finish that lingers with genuine complexity and satisfaction. The ultimate sipping tequila, from the year that tequila first learned what it could become.
Serving Suggestions
Neat or on the rocks — a tequila aged for up to three years in French oak deserves nothing less. Too good to slam, good enough to savour. Also exceptional in a premium Tequila Old Fashioned or Añejo Negroni.
