At the historic La Rojeña distillery in the town of Tequila, the Beckmann family has been resting their tequila in oak since 1800 – the very number the brand has carried as its name ever since. 1800 Añejo is the result of that legacy: dark, round and full of time spent in French and American oak.
Expert Description
1800 Añejo is a Mexican Añejo Tequila made from 100% Blue Weber Agave and bottled at 38% alcohol. It comes from the 1800 Tequila brand, distilled at the historic La Rojeña distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco – the same distillery where Casa Cuervo has made tequila since the Cuervo family acquired the land in 1758. 1800 Tequila is, however, its own brand within the Cuervo group, launched in 1967 as a tribute to the year the Beckmann family first rested tequila in oak.
1800 Añejo is aged for a minimum of 14 months in French oak, giving it its deep amber colour and a round, spicy character. The bottle's trapezoidal shape draws on the Mayan pyramids found across Mexico, and each bottle carries a batch number along with the signature of the brand's current owner, Juan Domingo Beckmann.
