Frequently Asked Questions — 1800 Tequila Singapore

What is 1800 Tequila?

1800 Tequila is a premium Mexican tequila made from 100% Weber blue agave at Casa Cuervo in Jalisco, Mexico. The brand takes its name from the year 1800, said to be when tequila was first aged in oak casks, and its modern Reserva line launched in 1975 as a refined sipping tequila. The agave is harvested at peak ripeness, typically 8 to 12 years old, then double-distilled before ageing. At The Liquid Collection it is stocked as four expressions covering the core tequila categories — an unaged Blanco, an oak-aged Añejo, a filtered Cristalino, and the Extra Añejo Milenio. It is recognised globally for its trapezoidal bottle and its consistent house style of clean roasted agave layered with oak, vanilla and gentle spice.

Who makes 1800 Tequila?

1800 Tequila is produced by Casa Cuervo, the Mexican distilling house founded in 1758, and owned by the Beckmann family, who also own the Jose Cuervo brand. It is distilled at the historic La Rojeña distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, the same facility behind Jose Cuervo, which is why the two brands share a lineage despite very different positioning. 1800 sits at the more premium, sipping-focused end of the family's portfolio. Every expression is made from 100% Weber blue agave grown in Jalisco, with no mixto blending. The Liquid Collection stocks the brand as part of its wider Tequila range alongside houses such as Don Julio, Patrón and Código 1530.

How many 1800 Tequila expressions does The Liquid Collection stock?

The Liquid Collection stocks four active 1800 Tequila expressions, all in 75cl format and priced from $83 to $378 SGD. These are 1800 Reserva Silver, the unaged Blanco at $83 SGD; 1800 Reserva Añejo at $94 SGD; 1800 Reserva Cristalino at $99 SGD; and 1800 Reserva Milenio Extra Añejo at $378 SGD, the apex of the range. Together they span the full ageing spectrum, from a fresh agave-forward white tequila through to a Cognac-cask-finished extra añejo. This makes the 1800 line a useful way to taste how oak maturation reshapes the same agave base. All four are available for free islandwide delivery in Singapore.

What is the difference between 1800 Silver, Añejo, Cristalino and Milenio?

The four 1800 expressions differ by how long, and how, they are aged. 1800 Reserva Silver is a Blanco — unaged and bottled clear, showing fresh roasted agave, citrus and pepper. 1800 Reserva Añejo is matured a minimum of 14 months in French oak, adding vanilla, toasted oak and butterscotch. 1800 Reserva Cristalino is an aged tequila that has been filtered back to crystal clarity, keeping the smoothness of oak ageing without the colour. 1800 Reserva Milenio is an Extra Añejo aged several years in oak and finished in French oak Cognac casks, giving dark amber colour and notes of dried fruit, cinnamon and chocolate. Price rises with age, from $83 SGD for the Silver to $378 SGD for the Milenio at The Liquid Collection.

What is 1800 Reserva Milenio?

1800 Reserva Milenio is the Extra Añejo at the top of the 1800 range, priced at $378 SGD at The Liquid Collection. It is made from 100% Weber blue agave, aged for several years in American and French oak, then finished for a period in French oak Cognac casks — a maturation that lends it a flavour profile closer to fine brandy than to a young tequila. Originally released in 2000 to mark the millennium, it is presented in a hand-crafted decanter and shows dark amber-gold colour with aromas of oak and vanilla and a palate of red fruit, cinnamon and chocolate. It is built for slow sipping, neat and at room temperature, rather than for mixing. Browse it within the full Tequila collection.

Is 1800 Cristalino an aged tequila?

Yes — 1800 Reserva Cristalino is an aged tequila that has been filtered to remove the colour picked up from the barrel, leaving a clear spirit that still carries the smoothness of oak maturation. Cristalino is a modern Mexican style: an añejo or aged tequila is rested in oak, then passed through filtration that strips the amber hue while retaining much of the rounded, vanilla-and-spice character ageing provides. The result drinks softer than a Blanco but pours as clear as one. At The Liquid Collection, 1800 Reserva Cristalino is priced at $99 SGD, sitting just above the Añejo and offering an easy, polished sipping option that also works in clear cocktails where colour matters.

Why is it called 1800 Tequila?

The name 1800 honours the year 1800, which the brand marks as the point when tequila was first aged in oak casks at Casa Cuervo — a turning point that distinguished premium aged tequila from younger spirit. The number is therefore a nod to heritage rather than a founding date; the 1800 Reserva line itself was launched in 1975 by the Beckmann family. The figure also lends the brand its identity around oak ageing, which is reflected across the range from the barrel-aged Añejo to the Cognac-cask-finished Milenio. The Liquid Collection stocks the full Reserva spread so Singapore buyers can taste that ageing story from clear Blanco through to Extra Añejo.

How should I drink 1800 Tequila?

How you drink 1800 depends on the expression. The Silver Blanco is the most versatile for cocktails — it is the natural base for a Margarita, Paloma or Tommy's Margarita, where its fresh agave and citrus notes shine. The Añejo and Cristalino sit comfortably either over a large ice cube or in a more spirit-forward serve such as a tequila Old Fashioned. The Milenio Extra Añejo is best enjoyed neat at room temperature, savoured slowly like a fine aged brandy, where the Cognac-cask influence is most expressive. Across the board, pair tequila with grilled meats, citrus-marinated chicken or rich mole. The Liquid Collection can advise on the right expression for sipping versus mixing via WhatsApp on +65 9680 5856.

Is 1800 Tequila 100% agave?

Yes — every 1800 Tequila expression is made from 100% Weber blue agave, with no mixto blending of non-agave sugars. The agave is grown in Jalisco, hand-harvested at peak ripeness of roughly 8 to 12 years, steamed, and double-distilled before ageing. This places 1800 firmly in the premium, all-agave category rather than the value mixto tier. For drinkers, 100% agave generally means a cleaner, more agave-driven flavour and a smoother finish. The Liquid Collection stocks the four 1800 Reserva expressions alongside other 100% agave brands in the Tequila collection so Singapore buyers can compare house styles within the same category. All are 75cl bottles and qualify for free islandwide delivery.
