Product Heritage

818 Tequila was founded in 2020 by Kendall Jenner, who named the brand after the area code of her hometown, the San Fernando Valley in California. Jenner’s vision was to create a premium tequila that not only tasted exceptional but also supported sustainable and ethical practices.

818 Tequila uses 100% Blue Weber Agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens to enhance its natural sweetness. The agave is then fermented using natural yeast strains and double-distilled in copper pot stills for a smooth, refined finish.

The brand is committed to sustainability, employing water recycling and energy-efficient processes at its family-owned distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. 818 Tequila also supports local farmers, ensuring fair wages and sustainable farming practices.
