Process & Profile
818 Reposado is meticulously crafted in collaboration with local, family-owned farms in Jalisco. The journey begins with hand-harvested Blue Weber agave, selected at peak maturity after seven years of growth. The agaves are slow-cooked in traditional adobe brick ovens for over 30 hours to extract deep, rich flavors. Using a centuries-old tahona process, the cooked agaves are crushed to release their juice, which is then fermented in stainless steel tanks and distilled twice in hand-built copper pot stills. The tequila is aged a minimum of eight months in French oak barrels, imparting its signature smoothness, complexity, and a golden hue. Key Details:- Agave: 100% Blue Weber
