1800 Reposado Tequila is an aged expression that reflects a traditional step in tequila production, where time in oak is used to develop additional character while preserving the identity of the agave. Produced by Jose Cuervo under the 1800 brand, it is made from 100% blue Weber agave and matured in a combination of American and French oak barrels for a period that falls within the reposado classification. The reposado category sits between unaged blanco and longer-aged anejo tequilas, and this expression is designed to represent that middle ground. The ageing process is carefully controlled to introduce oak influence without overshadowing the base spirit, maintaining a balance between freshness and development. As part of the 1800 range, it follows a consistent production approach rooted in traditional methods such as double distillation and the use of mature agave, while offering a more developed profile than the unaged version.
