It’s not too late to enjoy summer-themed cocktails! At least not according to 1800 Tequila. This company continues to employ its original distillation process, using authentic masonry kilns and copper pot stills. The age-old traditional formula is crafted with Weber Blue Agave plants grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Jalisco, Mexico, and aged for eight to twelve years before they’re handpicked.
