My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Rested in French Oak barrels, this smooth and
delicious Tequila is ideal for sipping and famous for the Ultimate Margarita."
Other Info: From what I can tell and as far as things look by the bottles, it seems
1800 in its Reposado form was always a Mixto product until its new bottling. I believe
this to be the bottling prior to the current bottles we all see on the shelves today and
it does not say 100% anywhere on the bottle. Unfortunately, when I purchased this
bottle I assumed it was an 100% product and was very surprised to find out it was a
Mixto. I guess it goes to show that you always have to examine the products before
purchasing. With all that said, I probably would have still bought the bottle anyways
even knowing it was a Mixto due to being the old bottle.
Mark Cannon, from Pocotequila.com, provides the following insight into 1800:
"You can't talk about 1800 without mentioning Cuervo because after all that is who
makes it. The truth is great lengths have been taken to separate 1800 from the
Cuervo name. Early in Tequila 1800's history it was often labeled as Cuervo 1800.
Later and more recent versions no longer used the Cuervo name but the Cuervo crest
was still seen on some labels. Now the transformation is complete and there is no
mention of Cuervo anywhere on 1800 products."
