1800 Guachi Monton Anejo Tequila

$299.00
Overview

Anejo Tequila · 1800 Tequila · Single Estate Blue Weber Agave · Tequila Valley, Jalisco · 40% ABV

1800 GuachiMonton is a luxury anejo tequila with a genuinely unique finishing process. After 18 months aging in American oak, it is finished in orange tequila liqueur casks -- making it the first anejo tequila in the world to undergo this process. The result carries all the warmth and complexity of extended oak aging, lifted by a bright, natural citrus character that sets it apart from anything else in the category.

The name honours Los Guachimontones, the ancient circular stepped pyramids near Teuchitlan in Jalisco. That cultural connection extends to the bottle itself: a hand-finished red ceramic vessel with a circular wooden cap, designed to reflect the shape and spirit of those pyramids.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Spiced orange, honey, sandalwood, and vanilla cream. The citrus lift is immediate but elegant, not sharp.

Palate: Velvety and smooth -- caramel, ripe citrus, vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle dark chocolate, with a whisper of cardamom spice.

Finish: Long and warming -- honey, soft oak, and a clean citrus note that lingers without becoming sweet or cloying.

Distillery Information

Produced under the Jose Cuervo family portfolio at NOM 1122 in Jalisco's Tequila Valley, the GuachiMonton is among the most ambitious releases in 1800's history. The agave is sourced from a single estate in the lowlands of the Tequila Valley, grown for six to eight years before harvest — a commitment to raw material quality that underpins the character of the final liquid.

The 40-hour masonry oven cook and orange liqueur cask finish are both deliberate departures from the standard 1800 production approach, reflecting genuine craft investment in what is positioned as the brand's premium heritage expression.

Who this bottle is for

1800 GuachiMonton is for the serious tequila drinker who wants something genuinely different at the premium end of the category. It suits collectors and gift buyers looking for a bottle with exceptional shelf presence and a real story behind it, drinkers who enjoy aged complexity with a natural citrus lift, and anyone who wants to go beyond the standard anejo shelf.

How to enjoy

Best appreciated neat or over a single large ice cube, where the citrus finish has room to express itself fully. It also works exceptionally well in an Añejo Margarita or a Tequila Old Fashioned, where the orange character integrates naturally with classic cocktail ingredients. If you're pouring for guests unfamiliar with premium añejo, this is an ideal introduction — the citrus makes it immediately approachable without sacrificing depth.

Why we curate it

At Tequila Brothers, we recommend 1800 GuachiMonton for customers who want:

  • A one-of-a-kind añejo with a finish found nowhere else in the category
  • Rich oak complexity lifted by natural citrus and honey
  • A premium gift bottle with exceptional shelf and table presence
  • A tequila with a genuine cultural story worth telling

It appeals equally to serious tequila drinkers looking for something new and to gift-buyers who want a bottle that looks and drinks the part.
