The 1800 Essential Artists Series transforms 1800's signature Silver (Blanco) tequila into a collectible canvas, with limited-edition artwork wrapped around the brand's iconic bottle, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Since launching in 2008, the Essential Artists Series has featured more than 50 pieces of artwork, giving emerging and established artists a platform to share their work on an unconventional medium: the glass tequila bottle. Past collaborators include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Shantell Martin, Okuda San Miguel and Dustin Yellin, and each year a new edition of six highly limited, artfully crafted bottles is released. The bottle itself is recognized for its trapezoidal shape, reminiscent of the centuries-old Mayan stone pyramids of Mexico.
Inside is 1800 Silver, made from 100% Weber blue agave grown 8 to 12 years and harvested at its peak. The liquid is double distilled, and a special selection of white tequilas is blended together for added complexity and character.
A collector's bottle from the world's most awarded tequila brand.
Blanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
