1800 Milenio, Neat

Voted the 2024 World’s Best Tequila by IWSC, enjoying the 1800 Mileno neat allows for true appreciation of the liquid. It is crafted from 100% Weber Blue Agave and steamed in traditional ovens. It is aged for more than three years, then matured in French oak ex-cognac barrels for an additional four months. The result is a balanced soft flavour with notes of vanilla, red fruit and cinnamon, and a mint-chocolate finish.
