Product Information

The world’s most awarded tequila, 1800 Silver, is a premium crystal-clear tequila made from 100% highland blue weber agave. Double-distilled, this tequila is balanced and crisp with hints of sweet fruit and pepper on the finish. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just dipping your toes into this world, I invite you to join me as we explore the fascinating realm of these legendary spirits.

My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation. So often I find that when reviewing whiskey, ice is the enemy. The only flavors in whiskey that survive are typically the results of the aging process. But with this tequila everything survives through the ice — all of the aromas, all of the flavors… they are still there and in full force. The insights I’ve gained aren’t just from books or hearsay; they are the result of hands-on experience, countless tastings, and an enduring passion for these spirits.It’s a very smooth, delicate spirit. No unpleasantness or unexpected issues. Just pure flavors. On Ice My journey has seen me as an owner of sophisticated bars and renowned liquor shops, and even as a Mezcal distiller, honing the craft from scratch.

However, it is best to consume the remaining 25% of the bottle within a reasonable time frame to avoid any potential taste changes caused by oxidation or evaporation. Can 1800 Silver freeze? Michael J. de la Merced, “Diageo Is Said to Be in Talks to Buy Jose Cuervo,” DealBook, May 24, 2011.In the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia, 1800 Silver is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). However, in Mexico, it is bottled at 76 proof (38% ABV) due to tax reasons.

Since its release, 1800 Tequila has not only shaken up the tequila world, it's amassed numerous awards as well. In the 2021 New York International Spirits Competition, for example, 1800 Silver was awarded a silver medal. The brand's reposado also took home silver, and if that isn't proof of the brand's quality, its añejo won a coveted gold medal. Most recently, it won a silver medal in the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Another difference between low-quality tequila and premium is their agave content. Cheaper types, also known as "mixtos," are usually only made with the minimum amount of blue agave. Mexican law states that tequila must be made with at least 51% blue agave to be considered the real deal. The remaining 49% commonly consists of fermented ingredients like potatoes, corn syrup, or sugar cane, which dilute the agave flavor. Conversely, premium tequila is always made of 100% blue Weber agave. While it may not possess any outstanding or distinctive features, it provides a pleasingly smooth taste at a reasonable price.However, based on the distillery’s reputation, there is a possibility that additives may be used, even though the Tequila does not exhibit typical flavors associated with additives. 1800 Silver: Specs Type of Tequila One of the appealing aspects is its attractive price point, making it ideal for those seeking to make Margaritas on a budget or enjoy a straightforward Tequila shot.

However, be cautious when mixing it with sugary sodas, as they can significantly increase sugar intake. Does 1800 Silver use additives? Jose Cuervo quite literally set the standard for tequila, and 1800 follows that same process. The spirit starts out with a crop of 100% blue agave plants which are harvested and have their leaves sliced off, leaving the hard core behind. That core is then cooked for about three days in an oven to convert the plant material into sugar, and then placed into large vats to ferment and allow yeast to convert that sugar into alcohol. While higher-end sipping Tequilas like Don Julio Blanco or Patron Silver may be in a different league, 1800 Silver offers good value in its mid-range category. Alcohol content 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.Tequila Becomes First Spirits Brand to Sponsor the Los Angeles Lakers,” Marketing Weekly News, August 29, 2009. The tequila that we enjoy today is a far cry from the kombucha-like taste of pulque — and way stronger. Honoring the legacy of their forefathers, 1800 Tequila chose a trapezoidal-shaped bottle that's reminiscent of Mexico's Mayan pyramids. Existing as early as 2000 B.C., the Maya were industrious people that constructed massive temple pyramids that still stand to this day. The pyramids were made of step-like platforms — a feat of genius at a time when modern machinery didn't exist.
