818 Eight Reserve Aejo Tequila (375 ml) is a luxury-positioned, small-format tequila that leans heavily into richness, softness, and cask influence. Blending aejo and extra aejo tequilas aged up to 8 years, it delivers a profile of vanilla, spice, dried fruit, and toasted oak with a smooth, polished finish. This is designed less as a traditional agave-forward tequila and more as a crossover sipping spirit for whiskey and luxury buyers.
