1800 Milenio Extra Añejo Tequila

A Legacy of Excellence in Tequila Craftsmanship

1800 Tequila is one of the most historic and respected tequila brands, known for its commitment to tradition, innovation, and premium quality. The brand takes its name from the year 1800, marking the first time tequila was successfully aged in oak barrels—a milestone in the industry. Produced by Casa Cuervo, 1800 Tequila is made from 100% Weber blue agave, hand-harvested from the nutrient-rich volcanic soils of Jalisco, Mexico.

Among its prestigious lineup, 1800 Milenio Extra Añejo represents the pinnacle of the brand's craftsmanship, offering a luxurious and complex expression that embodies over two centuries of tequila-making expertise.

The Art of 1800 Milenio Extra Añejo

1800 Milenio is crafted for true tequila connoisseurs, undergoing an exceptional aging process that refines and enhances its flavors. This tequila starts as a carefully distilled añejo, then undergoes an additional maturation in French oak Cognac barrels, a technique that adds depth, smoothness, and unique character to the final product.

This extra añejo tequila represents the highest level of refinement within the 1800 portfolio, delivering rich, velvety layers of complexity that rival even the finest aged spirits.

The Aging Process: A Fusion of Tequila & Cognac Craftsmanship

1800 Milenio undergoes a meticulous aging process, spending several years in American oak barrels before being transferred to French oak Cognac barrels for additional refinement. This secondary maturation technique, inspired by the aging traditions of Cognac, imparts:

• A soft, rounded profile with delicate fruit and spice nuances
  
  
• Enhanced depth and complexity, resulting in a tequila that balances boldness with elegance
  
  
• A smooth, velvety texture that lingers beautifully on the palate

This unique finishing process sets 1800 Milenio apart from other extra añejos, offering an ultra-premium tequila experience comparable to the finest aged spirits.
