Eight Reserve is the fourth and top-tier expression in the 818 Tequila range, sitting above the brand’s Blanco, Reposado and standard Añejo. It’s an award-winning blend of Añejo and Extra Añejo tequila, combining components aged for roughly one, three and up to eight years, matured in a mix of French white wine casks and American ex-bourbon barrels. It’s distilled at NOM 1607 (Grupo Solave) in Amatitán, Jalisco, from 100% Blue Weber agave, and bottled at 40% ABV in a handmade ceramic decanter shaped like the numeral 8, produced by local artisans in Pachuca using a mix of raw and recycled materials.

Vanilla: present on both the aroma and palate, one of the blend’s dominant notes
Cinnamon: paired with clove on the nose, carrying through onto the palate
Orange Peel: a citrus lift on the nose
Honey: a sweet note running from nose to palate
Cherry: black cherry on the nose, echoed as cherry notes on the palate
Dried Fruit: dried berries on the palate, dried apricot lingering into the finish
