Product description
Founded by Kendall Jenner (internationally renowned model and one of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters), 818 Tequila is an award-winning tequila produced traditionally in Jalisco, Mexico at a family-owned distillery. The brand has won 25 blind tasting awards in six major industry competitions. The name 818 is a tribute to the founder and model’s hometown of Calabasas—located in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles—where she has lived her entire life.
From harvest to distribution, 818 is committed to an environmentally sustainable business model. The distillery runs entirely on biomass and solar energy, allowing the brand to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and reduce energy production throughout the distillation process. What’s more, when it comes time to distribute and package it for shipping, everything from the glass used to bottle it to the cork that seals it and the box is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as coming from sustainably managed forests. Every time a bottle of 818 is purchased, 1 percent of the proceeds are donated to a growing network of environmental nonprofits.
