1800 Milenio is the top-tier Extra Añejo expression in the 1800 Tequila range, first released in 2000 to mark the new millennium (“milenio” is Spanish for millennium) and reissued since. It’s made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown on the brand’s own estate, handpicked at peak ripeness and steamed in traditional masonry ovens, then double-distilled in copper pot stills. It’s aged for over three years in new American and French oak barrels with a high char and toast, satisfying tequila’s legal Extra Añejo classification (a minimum of three years in barrel), before a finishing rest in French oak Cognac barrels that gives the expression its signature vanilla, red fruit and cinnamon character.
CHARACTER
Vanilla: rich and consistent across nose and palate
Dried Fruit: red fruit, raisin and dried red fruit layered together
Cinnamon: warm spice alongside the vanilla and red fruit
Caramel: a soft sweetness in the background
Agave: present as the base character underneath
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Vanilla, dried red fruit and cinnamon, over a base of oak.
PALATE- Balanced and soft, with vanilla and dried red fruit carrying through alongside warm cinnamon spice.
FINISH- Long and elegant, with lingering spice and dried fruit.
