Production & Heritage

1800 Reposado is produced at La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Blue Weber agave piñas sourced from the Jalisco Highlands are slow-cooked in traditional masonry kilns for 36 to 40 hours before the extracted juice is double-distilled in copper pot stills. The spirit then rests for a minimum of six months in a combination of French and American oak barrels with high char and toast levels, a dual-barrel approach that distinguishes it from many single-oak reposados in its price range.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright citrus — lemon zest and lime peel — opens first, followed by fresh cracked pepper and green herbal notes. Underneath, a layer of toasted oak and cooked agave anchors the nose.

Taste: The entry is creamy and soft, with buttery caramel and vanilla arriving on the mid-palate alongside gentle baking spice. As the liquid warms, mild smokiness surfaces next to ripe stone fruit and a thread of cinnamon, giving the reposado real depth without overwhelming the agave core.

Finish: The finish runs long and peppery, closing with sweet orange peel, marzipan, and a faintly buttery texture. White pepper lingers at the very end, keeping the final impression dry and clean.

How to Drink 1800 Reposado

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the most direct way to appreciate the barrel influence and creamy agave character. The 1.75L format makes this an especially practical choice for cocktail use. A Reposado Paloma benefits from the buttery caramel playing against grapefruit soda. A classic Margarita gains additional warmth and complexity from the oak-aged notes compared to a blanco base. A Tequila Old Fashioned lets the vanilla and baking-spice dimensions take center stage alongside agave syrup and mole bitters.

Best For

Why 1800 Reposado?

The dual-barrel aging program — French oak alongside high-char American oak — is unusual at this price point and creates a layered profile that many single-oak competitors cannot match. A Gold Medal and 91 points from the 2024 Bartender Spirits Awards validate its cocktail-forward quality, and the traditional masonry-kiln cooking process preserves an agave sweetness that faster autoclave methods often lose. For anyone seeking a reposado with genuine barrel complexity in a format built for everyday use, 1800 Reposado in the 1.75L bottle delivers on both fronts.
