1800 Guachimonton Tequila Anejo 750mL

1800 Guachimonton Tequila Añejo

Añejo Tequila | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Jalisco, Mexico | 100% Blue Weber Agave | Orange Tequila Liqueur Cask Finish | Red Ceramic Bottle

Process & Profile

1800 Guachimonton Tequila Añejo combines oak maturation with a distinctive orange tequila liqueur cask finish. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Tequila Valley, it begins with mature agave cooked in masonry ovens and distilled twice.

The tequila matures for at least 12 months in American and French oak barrels before the añejo components are brought together and finished in casks that previously held orange tequila liqueur. This additional stage brings a fresh, persistent orange character to the tequila’s honey, caramel, wood, and ripe fruit aromas. Bottled at 40% ABV, it has a soft, velvety palate with a pleasantly bitter edge.

Its presentation is equally distinctive: a red ceramic, trapezoidal bottle topped with a circular wooden cap. The design honors Los Guachimontones, the archaeological site known for its circular pyramids, and the red clay soils associated with the region’s agriculture. The orange cask finish also pays tribute to the orange trees historically cultivated in this part of Jalisco.
