Time-honored Tradition and Quality
Named after the year tequila was first aged in oak barrels, 1800 Tequila has roots that trace back over 200 years. This brand is a proud extension of Casa Cuervo, the legendary tequila house that has been perfecting the craft since the 18th century. With that kind of legacy, you know you're getting a bottle steeped in tradition and quality.
Casa Cuervo, the company behind 1800, is one of the oldest tequila producers in Mexico, dating back to 1758. Over the years, the brand has upheld the same time-honored production techniques while also incorporating modern refinements to maintain a level of quality and consistency. 1800 was one of the first brands to introduce the aging of tequila in oak barrels, which helped elevate the spirit from a rough rustic liquor to the refined complex drink it is today.
With each bottle, 1800 honors its rich heritage while embracing innovation, ensuring that tequila lovers around the world get to experience the finest blue agave spirits Mexico has to offer!
Each bottle of 1800 has a distinct personality. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose your perfect match:
