1800 Tequila Añejo 38% Vol. 0.7 L

Discover the rich, sophisticated character of 1800 Tequila Añejo 38% Vol. 0.7L, a premium Mexican tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave and matured for more than a year in American and French oak barrels. Combining roasted agave, aromatic vanilla, buttery toffee, toasted nuts and warming spices, 1800 Añejo offers a beautifully rounded flavour for sipping and refined cocktails.

Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, 1800 Añejo represents the richer, more mature side of traditional tequila. Following double distillation in copper stills, the spirit develops additional depth through carefully controlled oak maturation, resulting in a dark-amber tequila with an expressive aroma and a long, gently peppery finish.

For Drinkero, 1800 Añejo is an excellent addition to a premium tequila selection. Its rich vanilla, caramel and oak character makes it particularly suitable for a Tequila Old Fashioned, an Añejo Margarita or creative variations of classic whiskey cocktails.

The Heritage of 1800 Tequila

The 1800 Tequila brand takes its name from the year traditionally associated with the beginning of oak-aged tequila production.

With roots in Mexico's renowned tequila-producing region of Jalisco, the brand celebrates the country's long history of agave cultivation and distillation.

1800 Tequila is produced using blue Weber agave and traditional tequila-making techniques, combining carefully controlled fermentation, copper pot distillation and oak maturation.

The brand's distinctive trapezoidal bottle shape reflects its Mexican heritage and has become one of the most recognisable designs in premium tequila.

1800 Añejo represents the mature, oak-influenced expression within the collection, offering greater richness and complexity than the brand's Blanco and Reposado tequilas.

Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave

1800 Añejo is crafted exclusively from 100% blue Weber agave, the traditional agave variety used for authentic Mexican tequila.

The agave plants are cultivated in Jalisco and harvested when sufficiently mature to provide the natural sugars required for tequila production.

After harvesting, the central agave hearts, known as piñas, are prepared for cooking.

The agave is cooked in traditional masonry ovens for approximately 36–40 hours, helping convert its carbohydrates into fermentable sugars while developing rich cooked-agave aromas.

The cooked material is then processed using roller mills to extract the agave sugars.

Following fermentation, the resulting liquid is distilled twice in copper pot stills, producing a clear tequila that retains the characteristic flavour of the blue Weber agave.

After distillation, the tequila begins its extended oak maturation, where additional vanilla, caramel, nutty and spicy notes develop.

Aged in American and French Oak Barrels

One of the defining characteristics of 1800 Añejo is its maturation in new American and French oak barrels.

The tequila is aged for approximately 12–16 months, allowing the spirit to develop a more rounded texture, deep amber colour and layered aromatic complexity.

American oak contributes distinctive vanilla, caramel and toasted wood characteristics, while French oak adds further structure and aromatic spice.

The barrels are prepared using controlled charring and toasting, allowing different oak flavours to become integrated with the natural agave character.

The resulting aged expressions are carefully blended to create the distinctive profile of 1800 Añejo.

The finished tequila combines the natural sweetness of cooked agave with rich toffee, toasted nuts, vanilla and a lingering peppery finish.

What Makes Añejo Tequila Different?

Añejo means "aged" in Spanish and refers to tequila matured in oak containers for at least one year and less than three years, in accordance with Mexican tequila regulations.

Unlike Blanco tequila, which emphasises fresh agave, citrus and herbal flavours, Añejo develops additional complexity from extended contact with oak.

The ageing process introduces flavours commonly associated with fine whiskey and aged rum, including vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts, wood and warming spices.

1800 Añejo retains the distinctive character of blue Weber agave while introducing a richer, more mature flavour profile.

This makes it an attractive choice for customers who enjoy bourbon, Cognac or other barrel-aged spirits and want to explore premium aged tequila.

What Makes 1800 Añejo Special?

1800 Añejo combines three essential qualities: genuine 100% agave production, double distillation in copper stills and carefully controlled maturation in American and French oak.

Its distinctive nutty-toffee character and aromatic vanilla notes make it particularly suitable for enjoying neat, where the layered flavours can be fully appreciated.

Compared with lighter Reposado expressions, 1800 Añejo delivers a more pronounced oak influence and a deeper, richer flavour.

In cocktails, its caramel, spice and toasted wood notes complement aromatic bitters, agave syrup, orange peel and other ingredients traditionally associated with spirit-forward drinks.

For Drinkero, it provides an accessible introduction to premium Añejo tequila while offering an interesting alternative to traditional whiskey-based cocktails.

Perfect for Cocktails

Although 1800 Añejo is especially enjoyable as a sipping tequila, its rich flavour also makes it an excellent ingredient in carefully balanced premium cocktails.

Tequila Old Fashioned: Combine 1800 Añejo with a small amount of agave syrup and aromatic bitters. Stir with ice and garnish with an orange twist. The tequila's vanilla, caramel and toasted oak create a sophisticated alternative to a traditional whiskey Old Fashioned.

Añejo Margarita: Mix 1800 Añejo with orange liqueur and fresh lime juice. Its rich, oak-aged character adds vanilla, toffee and warm spice to the classic Margarita's refreshing citrus balance.

Tequila Manhattan: Combine 1800 Añejo with sweet red vermouth and aromatic bitters. The vermouth's herbal sweetness complements the tequila's oak, caramel and nutty notes.

Añejo Paloma: Mix 1800 Añejo with grapefruit soda or fresh grapefruit juice, lime and sparkling water. The tequila adds a richer, oak-influenced character to the refreshing classic.

Tequila Boulevardier: Combine 1800 Añejo with Campari and sweet red vermouth. Its oak and vanilla notes provide a distinctive tequila-based interpretation of the traditional bourbon cocktail.

Añejo Espresso Martini: Combine 1800 Añejo with freshly brewed espresso and coffee liqueur. The tequila's roasted, nutty and caramel notes complement the coffee's rich character.

Serving Suggestions

1800 Añejo is particularly well suited to sipping neat at room temperature, allowing its vanilla, toasted nuts, agave and warming spices to develop naturally.

For a slightly cooler serve, pour the tequila over one large ice cube in a rocks glass.

For a Tequila Old Fashioned, combine approximately 60 ml 1800 Añejo, 5–10 ml agave syrup and two dashes of aromatic bitters. Stir with ice, strain over a large ice cube and garnish with fresh orange peel.

For an Añejo Margarita, combine 50 ml 1800 Añejo, 25 ml orange liqueur and 25 ml fresh lime juice. Shake with ice and serve in a chilled glass or over fresh ice.

For premium cocktails, avoid excessive sweeteners that might overpower the delicate balance of aged agave, vanilla and oak.
