My Tasting Notes: With a clear color, 1800 Silver has moderate aromas of floral and
smoke. Mild aromas consist of earth and fruit. The tequila has a bitterness to it and a
sweet aftertaste. Initial flavors are intense agave and floral. There are also moderate
earthy, spicy, and smoky flavors. A tingly alcohol intensity and a medium duration of
flavor bring this tequila experience to an end.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: Made from 100% Blue Agave, double distilled for
incredible smoothness, this Silver Tequila represents a modern blend of artistry and
quality.
To celebrate this, we have commissioned 1800 "Essential" Artists from around the
world to decorate our bottles. These are limited to 1800 bottles of each design.
ARTILLERY
Artillery’s creativity is drawn from the aggressive energy of the drum and bass, dub
step and metal constantly pouring through his headphones. Armed with some stolen X-
acto blades, almost every color of Montana spray paint and his wry sense of humor, he
has created an arsenal of hand-cut stencil designs featuring candy-coated colors and
an almost Warhol-esque twist on banal imagery. He currently curates street art shows
in Chicago’s eclectic Wicker Park neighborhood, giving an outlet to up-and-coming
artists. Artillery’s latest works can also been seen on the streets signs, buildings and
bridges of Chicago – because even though he’s quickly becoming so much more than a
“street artist,” that boy just can’t resist the urge to “get up.”
Other Info: These bottles were released in 2009.
“Some say art is “unessential,” that we can live without man-made beauty, that
anything which does not have a “practical function” is a superfluous luxury item. We
strongly disagree. Not only do we believe that hand-crafted things are important, as
they enrich our days and celebrate life, but we believe that the creation of art and art
appreciation are among the greatest reasons to be alive. At 1800 Tequila, we believe
that art is essential.
In our search to find 1800 artists who are creating the world’s most vital work, we cast
the net wide. We are seeking artists from diverse backgrounds and geographies, who
aren’t afraid to follow their own path and create inspired pieces which reflect their
independent vision. From canvases hanging in the hottest galleries, to the wildest
array of untraditional mediums, from paint to pixels, the next great 1800 essential
artwork might be found practically anyplace, from the streets, to a monitor.
Our goal is to share 1800 essential artworks with the world. Winning pieces will be
shown in outdoor installations, on limited edition bottles, and on custom-crafted kickz.
Art is everywhere. It is in every form. It is very much “essential.”” -1800 Website
