For Those Who Like to Mix It Up: When you’re traveling, who wants to pack extra glasses? Keep it simple with 1800® Tequila’s iconic packaging—the stopper doubles as a shotglass. Named after the year it was created, 1800® Tequila is pure, 100% blue agave tequila grown on family-owned ranches, aged in oak barrels and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico. For luxe looks our eyes gravitate to 1800® Tequila’s Essential Artists Series. Each bottle is designed by an up-and-coming artist and filled with 100% Agave Silver Tequila—that’s 100 proof, kids, so pace yourselves.
