818 Tequila Blanco by Kendall Jenner

Product Description

818 Tequila Blanco by Kendall Jenner: A Crisp, Citrusy Blanco from Jalisco

818 Tequila Blanco is the unaged expression from Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, the brand she launched with a goal of creating a tequila that reflects warmth, connection, and community. The name comes from the 818 area code of her hometown, Calabasas, California. It’s made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico, at a family-owned distillery, using traditional methods, and the brand has won 16 awards across six international spirits competitions.

The Blanco is the entry point to the 818 lineup, and it’s built to be easy: bright, smooth, and versatile enough for sipping, margaritas, and highballs. It has a brilliant platinum color and a light body, and it has a note the brand is proud of, a touch of vanilla roundness from resting in French oak.

How 818 Blanco Is Made

818 Blanco starts with 100% Blue Weber agave from Jalisco, hand-harvested and slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, then double distilled. The tequila is rested briefly in French oak for a fresh vanilla roundness before bottling at 40% ABV (80 proof). It stays clear and light-bodied while picking up that soft sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Brilliant platinum, light body.

Nose: Lemongrass, mild floral elements, chamomile, and light minerality.

Palate: Sweet agave and vanilla, with undertones of tropical and citrus fruit.

Finish: Ultra smooth, bright, and crisp, with notes of almond, key lime pie, and toasted coconut.

Food Pairings

The citrus and coconut notes in 818 Blanco pair well with fresh ceviche, fish tacos, grilled shrimp, and guacamole. It also works with spicy dishes like al pastor or Thai food, and with light desserts such as key lime pie or coconut flan.

Serving Suggestions

818 Blanco is smooth enough to sip neat or on the rocks. It shines in cocktails. The brand’s own serve is the Ranch Water: 3 oz of 818 Blanco and 1½ oz fresh lime juice over ice, topped with sparkling water and garnished with a lime wedge. It also makes a clean Margarita, Paloma, or tequila soda.
