1800 Reposado Tequila
1800 Reposado Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL reposado from Jalisco, Mexico — 100% Blue Weber agave, double distilled and rested in new American and French oak barrels (retailer and distributor copy for the brand puts the rest at no less than six months). The dual-oak rest is the 1800 signature: rich caramel and mild spice over the agave, with a touch of smokiness from the barrels. It is one of the category's defining reposados — a San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold winner in 2024 — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Reposado That Set the Template
The 1800 line takes its name from the year tequila was first aged in oak casks, and its reposado is built the way the house frames it: 100% Blue Weber agave rested across two oak traditions — new American barrels for caramel and vanilla weight, new French oak for spice and polish. Produced at La Rojeña, Casa Cuervo's historic distillery in the town of Tequila (NOM 1122), it lands bright honey-gold and moderately full-bodied, as comfortable on the rocks as it is anchoring a Margarita. The brand's own serve line says it plainly: perfect mixed in a cocktail or on the rocks. Shop the house on the 1800 Tequila vendor page or browse the full tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright honey (brand). Nose: Oak-laced agave with citrus and a peppery edge. Palate: Rich caramel and mild spices with a touch of smokiness. Finish: Sweet orange peel, white pepper and marzipan (brand notes).
How to Enjoy
On the rocks with an orange twist, or as the reposado in a Margarita or Paloma — the dual-oak rest gives it enough body to stay present through citrus and ice.
