“Southern Glazer’s is firmly committed to bringing more diversity to the wine and spirits industry, and that includes through the brands we represent,” said Jennifer Chaplin Tolkin, VP- Supplier Management, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. “I’m personally excited to be working with another female-owned spirits brand and hope that ventures like this encourage more women to take a shot at being part of our exciting industry. With an award-winning tequila product, a passionate owner, and a commitment to giving back, I think great things are ahead for the 818 team.”
Because of the hand-crafted nature of the product, Southern Glazer’s will launch distribution of 818 in Kendall Jenner’s home state of California and continue to roll out across the U.S. throughout the summer and in months to come.
The 818 portfolio includes three variations:
- -818 Tequila Blanco – Ultra smooth with undertones of tropical and citrus fruit and long finish.
- -818 Tequila Reposado – Ripe, roasted agave flavors complimented with a touch of vanilla from oak aging and a classic, smooth finish.
- -818 Tequila Añejo – More complexity of vanilla and spice from longer barrel aging with a rich, smooth, finish.
