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?

Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades. 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 Tequila

In fact, tequila is more popular than you might think. According to BevAlc Insights, tequila has been steadily growing in popularity since 2020 and has even replaced whiskey as the second-highest-selling spirit. It's not only leading "premiumization," but is on pace to become the most valuable liquor category in the U.S. in 2023, according to the article.Unlike Scotch, adding water to Tequila does not enhance its flavor. Does 1800 Silver contain sugar or carbs? 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]

The tequila that we enjoy today is a far cry from the kombucha-like taste of pulque — and way stronger. 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. If you’re looking for alternatives to 1800 Silver, consider Altos Plata, Espolon Blanco, Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver, or Gran Centenario Plata.Another difference between low-quality tequila and premium is their agave content. Cheaper types, also known as "mixtos," are usually only made with the minimum amount of blue agave. Mexican law states that tequila must be made with at least 51% blue agave to be considered the real deal. The remaining 49% commonly consists of fermented ingredients like potatoes, corn syrup, or sugar cane, which dilute the agave flavor. Conversely, premium tequila is always made of 100% blue Weber agave.
