Tasting Notes
A New Shape of Luxury
There's aged tequila. And then there's Eight Reserve.
Crafted from a blend of Anejo and extra Anejo tequilas - some rested for up to eight years - Eight Reserve is 818's most ambitious expression yet. A spirit shaped not just by time, but by vision. From the rolling lowlands of Jalisco to the hand-crafted ceramic decanter, everything about this bottle speaks to a slower, more intentional kind of excellence.
The agave, 100% Blue Weber, is slow-roasted and twice distilled before ageing in a blend of American and French oak. The oak isn't just there to smooth the spirit - it deepens it. Adds structure. Character. A quiet richness that doesn't overwhelm the agave but folds into it seamlessly.
The nose opens with grace: vanilla, spiced honey, soft almond, and roasted agave warmth rising together in harmony. There's no sharpness here - just depth. Dried fruit, a little oak toast, a touch of cacao husk. It's mellow, layered, and quietly seductive.
On the palate, it's pure silk. Creamy mouthfeel, generous without being heavy. Butterscotch, orange peel, and baking spice ride on a base of soft oak and caramelised agave. It finishes long and smooth - more of a fade than a flourish - with a gentle note of dark chocolate and peppered warmth that lingers in just the right way.
The bottle, sculpted and matte, says it all. It's artful, tactile, and unlike anything else in the category. No excessive gilding. No overstatement. Just form meeting function - a vessel that feels as thoughtful as the liquid inside.
Eight Reserve isn't trying to be a connoisseur's bottle. It's not rustic. It's not experimental. What it is, is elegant. Refined. Built for the moments where texture, stillness, and subtlety matter most.
It's sipping tequila for people who appreciate design, flow, and ease - and for anyone who believes that luxury should feel effortless, not loud.
Eight Reserve is the flagship. The exhale. A tequila made not to shout, but to stay with you.
And once opened, it's hard not to see - and taste - why.
