Handcrafted in small batches in Jalisco, Mexico. Aged in a blend of French and American oak barrels to create an Añejo of great complexity with dark amber color, aroma of caramel and almond, a flavors of roasted vanilla bean and very long and smooth finish. An Añejo tequila is what you get when you aged Blanco or Silver Tequila between 12 and 36 months in oak barrels. 818 Añejo was aged for 12 months before bottling. Nose is sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet as it displays a subtle oak note. On the palate, 818 has a buttery feel and is quite smooth, with a nice oaky note, rich in vanilla, honey and cinnamon. The finish is kinda long, with more pleasant oak, caramel and some cinnamon and clove. 818 drinks nicely neat or rocks, is a little too sweet for on old guy like that prefers a bit of harshness but I can see a lot of folks enjoying this tequila. 818 Añejo is not something I would use as a mixer as its too sweet and pricy to make cocktails. Use something cheaper and more punchy if you want to add a touch of oak to your Marge making it more interesting. Tasting Notes: Taste: Vanilla, sweet agave, and crisp herbal notes. Aroma: Caramel, toasted nuts, orange peel, chocolate and toffee. Body and Color: Light amber with shiny golden reflections and bronze hues with full body. Finish: Very long silk, rich and full bodied. Aged for over 1 year in oak barrels.
