https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3437 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3437 I see that most or all of these previous reviews have taken place several years in the past. While I was reading these I was wondering if they were talking about the same tequila that I have been drinking recently. Perhaps quality control has changed and in recent years 1800 has improved dramatically. Just so you know a little about my drinking history, before this brand became one of my favorites, I was a dyed in the wool, Corralejo Reposado loyal consumer. If it wasn’t Corralejo, I didn’t drink it. When I drink tequilas, I’m not too interested in color, aroma or “presentation”. I am primarily interested in the taste. I don’t care if the color is like engine sludge or its aroma is like a country outhouse, I want a great taste. Start, body and finish. In the past I’ve tried several of the more popular tequilas including the king of advertising hype, Patron. A few tequilas that cost in excess of $100 per bottle. That was when I realized that cost did not equate with taste. In the end my latest personal opinion is that for my money, you can’t beat 1800 Reserve. The bottom line, in my humble opinion is that you can’t go wrong with 1800. If you are a novice, this is a great place to start. You will search long and hard to find a better tasting, smoother tequila. So if you’re looking for a great tasting tequila that is still easy on the pocket book, you can’t go wrong with 1800 Reserve. ]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:54:04 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2317 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2317 I am by no means well versed on all the Tequilas on the market, but I know what I like and I enjoy the Tequila Reserva 1800 Reposado as a sipper, both straight up and over a single rock. 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2232 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2232 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2043 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2043 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2011 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2011 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1854 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1854 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1160 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1160 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=876 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=876 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=836 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=836 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=677 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=677 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=662 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=662 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=609 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=609 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 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=602 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=602 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 +0000
