The Bottom Line
Tired of all those premium tequilas weighing in at a mere 80 certification? I’m not, further for those who want a little further bang in their Margaritas 1800 Tequila released a 100 proof blanco in April of 2008. 1800 Select Silver Tequila has found a nice balance of high alcohol content and smooth, silver tequila that is impressive, mixable and a nice addition to the brand’s portfolio.Visit Their Website
Pros
- Smooth over-proof tequila.
- Great in almost any tequila cocktail, especially those by heavy mixers.
- Sweetness overpowers the high proof for a drinkable actual trial.
Cons
- At 100 confirmation, 1 or 2 drinks too many is REALLY 1 or 2 drinks too many.
- Too high in alcohol make contented for a round of tequila shots in my opinion.

Guide Review - 1800 Select Silver Tequila 100 Proof
1800 Select Silver is a well-rounded silver tequila with the extra scintilla of a higher proof than its counterparts. The crystal tequila is distilled twice and blended through a small amount of aged tequila, which adds a smoothness that separates it from the average blanco. It is a nice modify of pace in the place of the premium tequila market and one that tequila connoisseurs should be able to appreciate for its unique qualities. However, I can also see this decorous a tequila shot that gets out of sway. That higher proof is appealing for the party crowd, but one that should be respected for what it is: a efficient libation. Obviously, slamming two shots of 100 proof is not the same as two shots of 80 confirmation and even in mixed drinks one drink too many is really one too people.
Tasting Notes:
The aroma has a tangy, intoxicating sweetness by the slightest hint of agave. A velvety entry leads to a hearty palate of citrus and a sweet bouquet that find a unique balance. The heady finish reminds you of the tequila’s security while a spark of warm, sweet agave releases to an ever-lasting sweet and sour.
Enjoy 1800 Select Silver:
This tequila makes an excellent Margarita in any of its many varieties and I really like it in mixer-heavy and elevated drinks. I have to recommend a Paloma, Cantarito, Dirty Bird and the like. If you’re in the mood against short drinks try the Passion Cocktail, Mexi-tini or The Rhube.Visit Their Website
