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.

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.

only a mixer i think, goes beautifully with a lemonade splash, pretty harsh and a bit too bitter for a sipper

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.

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).
