You will especially enjoy this if your only experience has been with the Tequilas of your University days. This is a gateway to more premium brands. Enjoyable for the price! ]]> Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:15:02 -0500 912-2232 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html This is a mixing tequila...period. The flavors are too harsh to be sipped. The flavors work well in a margarita or with something with citrus and the price is right to be able to afford a mixed drink with a 100% agave tequila. The price point is decent and the bottle is nice, but some good research will lead you to better tasting tequilas to drink straight with a similar price. ]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:03:55 -0500 912-2043 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html Earlier production may have been rougher, but the bottle of 1800 I opened last night is really quite excellent. Well knit together by the time on wood. Nice floral and fruit notes as well as some very nicely smoothed agave tartness and a slight tasty hint of kick at the end. Based on previous reviews I was very pleasantly surprised. I expected some rough stuff. A sipper for sure and great in a margarita as well. Better then many tequilas at 2-3X the price. I am a fan of the silver as well, but now both 1800 bottlings are really the all around leader in the value, 100% Agave category. At least here in Boston you can sometimes find the 1.75 for $34.99. Heck, it's even in a nice bottle. ]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:32:30 -0400 912-2011 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html only a mixer i think, goes beautifully with a lemonade splash, pretty harsh and a bit too bitter for a sipper ]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:54:47 -0400 912-1854 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html I tried this in a shot glass because the bar only had this as the better options and the price was very good. I usually prefer Repasados to Blancos and Joven it has a nice amount of rested quality and for the price it is a pleasing one. I am a girl who likes my Tequila straight no mixers no chasers if you can’t drink it that way it is not worth having in my opinion. Definitely worth a try and if you have to mix it is a much higher quality for a great price. ]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 03:24:56 -0500 912-1160 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html I don't love reposados, but for the price especially, this is decent. It has the subtle wood flavoring combined with agave that I find slightly off-putting in rep's, but compared to other rep's it is nice. The agave is definitely present and not totally overpowered by the wood, but there certainly is a smokey, peppery flavor to it. If you like rep's this is definitely worth trying for the price (at least around me it's about half the cost of more well known brands). ]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:51:24 -0400 912-876 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html This disappointed me. It tasted like a mixto, real bitter in the body and aftertaste. It was fine in a Margarita, but not a sipper at all!! ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 17:37:24 -0400 912-836 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html I bought a bottle of 1800 becuase it was on sale for $15 at my local Jewel/Osco. I remember it from years ago (i'm in my 50's) when it was considered the best tequila. Well it was really disappointing this time...I do not think I would buy it again even at that price. Rich smoky taste was overshadowed by a very bitter/sour taste and aftertaste. ]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:22:46 -0400 912-677 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html Tasted 07/05/08 out of Double Old fashioned glass. I tried it first as a sipper. The second time around I put a splash of orange juice in it. As a sipper, I've tasted better repos, but it still had the same body taste as the blanco 1800, interesting. For me, not great, but not bad. Aroma: Wood, earth, and faint agave Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel, on the tip of tongue there is slight bitterness Body: slight wood taste (I always prefer less), and a mellow agave body. Finish: hints of cinnamon and spices, with a slight alcohol burn. ]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:54:29 -0400 912-662 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html I agree with the current ratings, however IMHO it's a bit too light in body and flavor for me to warrant paying over $17-$20. It's a very good tequila but I think the fancy bottle and label is why the price is $25.00+. ]]> Sun, 22 Jun 2008 15:24:08 -0400 912-609 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html 1800 Tequila Reserva Reposado, NOM 1122. This clear golden spirit was enjoyed in a double shot glass. It had a medium scent of alcohol at first which developed into roasted agave & oak after airing for a short period of time. The initial taste was peppery, smoky, & spicy with sweet fruit, a hint of vanilla, & medium alcohol. The pepper & spice lingered with some bitterness in this medium bodied tequila & finished in medium fashion where the slightly bitter taste dissipated. 1800 Reposado was fairly smooth, consistent with it's $24.95 price tag, not at all bad for what you received in return. I feel the current 1800 label is certainly a better product now compared to when it had a closer association with Jose Cuervo. Just short of a solid B. ]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 14:38:15 -0400 912-602 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/1800-tequila-reserva-reposado.html 1800 Reposado NOM 1122 Tasted on 2/29/08 at 7:40pm. I tried this tequila, which cost me $4, at the Davis Graduate Tequila Bar and tasted it in a snifter. With a yellow golden color, this tequila has intense floral and earthy aromas. Other aromas include moderate spice and fruit with mild smoke. The tequila has a medium mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with mild to moderate bitterness. 1800 Reposado has numerous arrays of flavors due to its 6 months of aging. Intense flavors of floral and agave are followed by moderate notes of spice, earth, and fruit. With a medium duration of flavor, tastes of mild smoke with hints of wood bring this tequila to a subtle finish. 1800 Reposado has received the rating of 82 points out of 100. ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 14:52:27 -0400
