818 Reposado Tequila

Founded by model, entrepreneur and ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star Kendall Jenner. The line was first released in the US in May 2021 and made available in the UK just a few months later due to its massive popularity and success. Sure enough, the 818 brand and 818 Tequila Reposado itself have taken the UK by storm.

818 Reposado is sweet in taste (vanilla, caramel, orange, sweet fruits), making it the perfect tequila to sip on the rocks or enjoy in shots with your family and friends.

Kendall Jenner is known for expressing her love and passion for the agave spirit and has been working with some of the most esteemed family-owned and authentic tequila producers in Jalisco, Mexico to bring you the finest quality product possible - 818 Tequila Reposado.

818 Tequilas are manufactured using modern technology to ensure their consistency and high quality, yet sticking to traditional Mexican methods to retain all those aspects we love so much about tequila. Jenner has said that her 818 Tequila is ‘simply perfect’, and the multiple awards awarded to the 818 brand seem to back up that claim.

What makes 818 Reposado Tequila special?

The Spanish word ‘Reposado’ translates to ‘rested’ and reflects the brief amount of time the liquid spends ageing in a barrel. This leaves more of the sweeter agave notes present in the taste, with just a light smooth touch of oak gained from being "Rested" in French oak barrels for between 2 months and a year.

818 Tequila Reposado is produced from 100% Blue Weber Agave, cooked first in brick ovens for 40 hours, before being finely crushed, fermented, and double distilled in pot stills and then rested in oak barrels. Many who buy 818 Tequila Reposado for its hype are then blown away by the rich, smooth and pleasing taste.

The 818 team works closely with local, family-owned agave farms in Jalisco, Mexico to create the smoothest, best tasting, and most authentic tequila possible, and ensuring that only the best quality ingredients and agaves are used.

The brand has won 25 blind tasting awards across 8 major industry competitions, including Best Reposado Tequila from the World Tequila Awards, Platinum Award from the SIP Awards, Chairman's Trophy from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, Triple Gold from the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards, Top 100 Spirits from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, and Innovation Award from the SIP Awards.

818 Tequila Reposado is one of three tequilas alongside 818 Tequila Blanco and 818 Tequila Anejo.

If value for money is what you seek then make a saving by purchasing all three of the different 818 Tequilas together by buying the 818 Tequila Collection.
