Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila is now debuting their anejo expression - Eight Reserve by 818.

For tequila's to be classified as anejo, the spirit must be aged for between one to three years in barrels with a maximum size of 600 litres.

Eight Reserve will feature a blend of one year old anejo and extra anejos aged up to eight years old, crafted in Jalisco, Mexico and bottled in a unique "8"-shaped handmade 750ml ceramic decanter produced by artisans in Pachuca, Mexico. The figure "8" was designed to represent "infinite Tequila enjoyment". The tequila was aged in French and American barrels.

“The launch of Eight Reserve is a milestone moment for the 818 Tequila brand,

We are constantly looking to innovate and with this new liquid we are building on what makes 818 Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo so beautiful and complex, and taking it to the next level.

It’s been incredible to work alongside our team in Mexico to develop Eight Reserve.”

- Kendall Jenner, Founder of 818 Tequila
