Review: 1800 Reposado Tequila
1800 Reposado Tequila was introduced in 2004 along with their Silver and Anejo expression. 1800 was named for the year tequila was first aged in oak barrels. The 1800 product line was first launched in 1975 and it was called Cuervo 1800 Tequila. It is made with 100% Weber Blue agave that is grown for 8-12 years before they are hand picked. The pinas are roasted in masonry kilns and double distilled in copper pot stills. The tequila is then aged in American and French Oak barrels for at least 6 months.It pours to a golden Chardoney color. The aroma is smoky, earthy agave, with apple and cinnamon notes. The sweet citrus agave entry is joined by cinnamon and vanilla. It fades with caramel and a peppery sting. The finish is very warm with citrus and smoky agave flavor and dry mineral taste. 1800 Reposado tequila will work best when mixed in a cocktail or served as a shot.
