Review: 818 Tequila Reposado
818 Tequila Reposado is probably best known as Kendall Jenner’s tequila. Kendall is not the first celebrity to create a tequila brand but she is the first I’m aware of that has been publicly criticized for doing so. Kendall worked in tandem with La Cofradia distillery for four years developing the 818 brand. It starts with hand selected agave grown in both the Highland and Lowland Regions on family farms in Jalisco. The hand trimmed pinas are slow roasted for 40 hours in adobe brick ovens. Once cooled large stone Tahonas are used to crush and extract the juice which is fermented for 70 hours. The spirit is small batch double distilled in alembic pot stills and matured in French oak barrels. The aged tequila is then blended with extra anejo tequila before bottling. Read more 
Review: 818 Tequila Blanco
After several trips to the La Cofradia Distillery, and dozens of blind taste tests, Kendall Jenner’s nearly four year journey to create the best tasting tequila has resulted in the release of 818 Tequila Blanco. It is currently only available in California. 818 is the area code of the greater San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles including Calabasas California, the home of brand creator Kendall Jenner. 818 is not the first celebrity owned tequila brand, and most certainly will not be the last. 818 is crafted at La Cofradia. This distillery currently produces 67 tequila brands including Casa Noble, Astral, Cazul 100, Senor Rio, Tequila Mi Campo, and Tequila 512. 818 is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, hand picked from farms in the Lowland and Highland Regions of Jalisco. Once hand trimmed the pina’s are roasted in adobe brick ovens for 40 hours. Large stone tahonas are then used to extract and collect the juice by crushing the cooked agave. The juice is fermented for 70 hours and then double distilled in small batches in alembic pot stills. Each batch rests in French oak barrels prior to bottling. 818 is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. For every bottle sold they will donate 1% of revenue to environmental non profit partners to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. Read more
