It's tequila my dudes. It's nothing special and it's got the same problem as resposado, it tastes sweet, but other than that, it's just overhyped, over expensive, and altogether kinda cute looking tequila. I can't recommend it, and i'd never buy it, but like, if you're faced with 818? take the pic because what is kendall sees it!

I was out last night at a new Hot spot In Philadelphia, they offered 818. I was so excited to try it, only problem was I have a bad history with tequila and struggle with it now. Well lets just say I am back into it. This 818 was so smooth and didn't have that awful after taste. I actually could sip it, there was just a nice taste to it. We got spicy margaritas made and they were INCREDIBLE. I felt it right away, and was nervous for how I would feel today. But I don't even have a headache which is shocking. I am going to buy a bottle for Sundays football game. Very into it.

I didn't know was to except but I am pleasantly happy with 818. Hoping my local stores have it for sale. Not sure on the price point but it is worth it I think.

This tequila is really interesting! It has a strong aftertaste but you'll end up having the best night of your life! More like a really party drink which I love! price is okay but you won't even notice it's gone because of too much partying :D

I used to work in the wine and spirit industry and had the chance to taste good tequila - this one is only marketing oriented, this is not a great tequila, the liquid is not what we are expecting. Marketing only - i dont recommend! I would go for Volcan Tequila

818 is a truly no good tequila. I hosted a blind tasting with three celebrity blanco tequilas: 818, Casamigos, and Teremana. We didn't have really high expectations for any of them but by trying them blind, we could set our biases aside. 13/15 tasters put 818 last and it was no one's first choice. 818 smells and tastes like a birthday cake candle. If you enjoy distilled spirits, namely tequila, you will be disappointed by 818. By trying to make the product "smooth" and palatable, they killed off any desirable flavor qualities that might come from the agave itself. 818 is a tequila for people who don't like the taste of alcohol. I think a product like 818 has its place. It's probably easier to drink shots of 818 than a traditional tequila. It might taste fine mixed with juice or soda. But if those are the destination, a $45 bottle of tequila is not the way.

If you make the mistake of buying this, please use it as a mixer. Kendall, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. I can not tell a lie.

I am a huge tequila person, it is probably the only alcohol I drink. 818 was getting so hyped up I just had to try it. Nothing against the company, this was just not good tequila. I couldn’t finish a shot, so I tried making a simple margarita, still no. I feel bad by saying it isn’t good, but I recommend drinking something else.

I get the fact that this brand wants to be the aesthetic of all tequila but the taste is just not quite right. It does get the job done, but the quality of taste isn’t up to par compared to the rest of the market.

The marketing team deserves a round of applause because at first, I didn't want to purchase but they really created the feeling of FOMO so I bought a bottle online and was looking forward to testing it out for myself. I have to say, I am not an alcohol snob but I know what tastes good. My sister and I took shots straight (which I rarely do, but wanted to see how smooth it was) and it is smooth. After that, I made a deliciously sweet sugar-free margarita using MiraBurst, a shot of 818, and some lime juice. It was great. I probably will repurchase at some point if I come across it in person. Also, very aesthetically pleasing packaging.
Tasty 😋
