Los Altos highland agave, American oak ex-bourbon aging — 818 Añejo delivers caramel-driven depth from Jalisco's iron-rich red clay soils.
818 Tequila, founded by Kendall Jenner in 2021, sources its agave from the Los Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco — a deliberate choice, as highland agave grown at elevations above 2,000 metres in the region's characteristic iron-rich red clay soils develops measurably higher sugar content and a distinctly fruity, floral aromatic profile compared to lowland Weber Blue agave.
The Añejo expression is aged for a minimum of one year in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, a regime that imparts vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood character while the highland agave's natural sweetness provides the underlying fruit framework. The combination of high-altitude terroir and bourbon-seasoned wood is the defining production signature of this expression.
What sets this Añejo apart within the crowded celebrity-tequila category is its strict highland-only sourcing commitment — no lowland agave blending — which preserves the terroir-specific fruitiness through the oak aging process rather than allowing barrel influence to dominate.
The result is a tequila where agave character and wood integration remain in clear dialogue.
