818 Tequila, the high-end tequila brand by Kendall Jenner, has officially launched in India. Distributed exclusively by Berry Beverages and imported in partnership with Zoup Beverages, 818 Tequila is now available in the Delhi-NCR region with plans for further expansion across the country.
818 Tequila achieves its unique flavor through time-honored methods at a cutting-edge distillery located in Amatitán, Mexico. This meticulous process involves slow-cooking agaves for more than 30 hours, crushing them with large stone Tahona wheels, and allowing for a 48-hour natural fermentation. Subsequently, the agaves undergo double distillation in alembic copper pot stills before being aged in French and American oak barrels.
Although its name is inspired by the Calabasas, California area code, 818 Tequila prioritizes sustainability. The distillery operates on biomass and solar energy, bottles are crafted from recycled glass, and packaging is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Furthermore, 818 collaborates with s.a.c.r.e.d. (Saving Agave for Culture, Recreation, Education, and Development) to repurpose tequila production byproducts into building materials, supporting community projects throughout Mexico.
Kendall Jenner shared her excitement, stating, “I’m thrilled to announce the launch of 818 Tequila in India. This marks another significant stride for my brand on the global stage, and I can’t wait to see everyone savoring 818! Cheers!”
