1800 Tequila Silver 100% Agave 70 cl

Product Information

Joven is a blend of aged and unaged tequila. It carries a mild taste of vanilla with spicy notes that are balanced with fruity accents. Reposado is aged in oak or white oak barrels for at least two months, giving it a complex yet subtle woodsy flavor. Premium brands will age tequila for up to 11 years. Añejo is aged for one year at minimum, and it carries a more robust flavor of French or white oak barrels. Despite its full-bodied flavor, it has a smoother taste than blanco, joven, and reposado. The first officially licensed tequila manufacturer was Jose Antonio Cuervo of Jalisco, Mexico, in 1758, after he was given the rights by King Ferdinand VI of Spain to cultivate a portion of land. Shortly thereafter, the production of tequila was banned, until 1795, when King Carlos IV lifted the ban. 1800 is widely known as the year in which tequila was first successfully aged in wood. [6] While it may not possess any outstanding or distinctive features, it provides a pleasingly smooth taste at a reasonable price.

It would take some time for the Cuervo family to embrace their distilling calling, but by 1880 the family had started commercially producing their spirits for sale. Known originally as “mezcal de Tequila” (mezcal from the town of Tequila), the Mexican government eventually — after much lobbying — allowed them to designate their spirits as a unique appellation known simply as “tequila.” The very first bottle of Jose Cuervo Tequila rolled off the line in 1906 and a massive new category of distilled spirits was born.

My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation. Silver is an excellent choice for a Blanco Tequila shot for two key reasons: its affordability and being made entirely from agave.

Honoring the legacy of their forefathers, 1800 Tequila chose a trapezoidal-shaped bottle that's reminiscent of Mexico's Mayan pyramids. Existing as early as 2000 B.C., the Maya were industrious people that constructed massive temple pyramids that still stand to this day. The pyramids were made of step-like platforms — a feat of genius at a time when modern machinery didn't exist. However, based on the distillery’s reputation, there is a possibility that additives may be used, even though the Tequila does not exhibit typical flavors associated with additives. 1800 Silver: Specs Type of TequilaTim Nudd, “Ad of the Day: Ray Liotta Says It All by Saying Nothing for 1800 Tequila,” Ad Week, October 30, 2013. The insights I’ve gained aren’t just from books or hearsay; they are the result of hands-on experience, countless tastings, and an enduring passion for these spirits.

Look for Tequilas labeled “100% agave” to ensure a pure and enjoyable shot. Avoid Tequilas made with blends of agave and sugar cane, as they can be unpleasant and lead to an unpleasant hangover. Alternatives If you’re looking for alternatives to 1800 Silver, consider Altos Plata, Espolon Blanco, Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver, or Gran Centenario Plata. No, 1800 Silver will not freeze due to its high alcohol content. While chilling Tequila in the freezer is a common practice, adding ice can dilute the spirit.While higher-end sipping Tequilas like Don Julio Blanco or Patron Silver may be in a different league, 1800 Silver offers good value in its mid-range category. Alcohol content In the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia, 1800 Silver is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). However, in Mexico, it is bottled at 76 proof (38% ABV) due to tax reasons. Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades. While it may not be a standout Tequila that will impress the most discerning aficionados or win prestigious awards, it provides a decent drinking experience. It’s a very smooth, delicate spirit. No unpleasantness or unexpected issues. Just pure flavors. On Ice

My journey has seen me as an owner of sophisticated bars and renowned liquor shops, and even as a Mezcal distiller, honing the craft from scratch. The folks at 1800 have been brewing tequila for over 200 years… we think that’s just enough time to formulate the perfect tequila right?Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just dipping your toes into this world, I invite you to join me as we explore the fascinating realm of these legendary spirits. So often I find that when reviewing whiskey, ice is the enemy. The only flavors in whiskey that survive are typically the results of the aging process. But with this tequila everything survives through the ice — all of the aromas, all of the flavors… they are still there and in full force.

When properly stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, opened 1800 Silver Tequila can remain good for a long time. Silver is 100% blue Weber agave, so don't worry, you're in good hands. Although agave is a spikey plant, it certainly creates smooth beverages. Mexico has the perfect climate for the species to flourish. Agave plants respond the best to lots of sun and rain and require loose soil for their root system to grow horizontally. In Jalisco's lowlands, the soil is enriched by lava from the nearby Colima Volcano Complex, which consists of three volcanos — two of which are active. Volcanic soil is fertile because it's infused with nutrients from lava and ash. Jose Cuervo quite literally set the standard for tequila, and 1800 follows that same process. The spirit starts out with a crop of 100% blue agave plants which are harvested and have their leaves sliced off, leaving the hard core behind. That core is then cooked for about three days in an oven to convert the plant material into sugar, and then placed into large vats to ferment and allow yeast to convert that sugar into alcohol.Silver Tequila is as premium as tequila gets. Deviating away from traditional distillation methods, this expression is not aged but instead rested for only 15 days in American oak barrels. An ample amount of time for it to form its stunning silvery hue and rich body of flavour.
