Process & Aging

1800 GuachiMonton Añejo Tequila begins with 100% Blue Weber agave grown on the family's estate in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco.

The expression celebrates the agricultural history of this region, where Blue Weber agave grows in the distinctive red clay soils surrounding the Tequila landscape.

After harvest, the agave is transformed into tequila through the production methods behind the 1800 portfolio before undergoing oak maturation.

The defining stage comes after its primary aging.

GuachiMonton receives a unique secondary finish in orange tequila liqueur casks. According to 1800, it is the first and only añejo tequila finished in orange tequila liqueur casks.

The finishing process introduces fresh citrus and bittersweet orange characteristics that complement the honey, caramel, fruit, and wood developed during maturation.

The completed tequila is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

Its rich appearance reflects the tequila's maturation and cask finishing while complementing the distinctive red ceramic presentation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromatic and layered with fresh citrus orange, honey, caramel, wood, and ripe fruit.

Finish: Fresh and persistent with a distinctive lingering orange sensation that highlights the influence of the orange tequila liqueur casks.

What Makes It Special

The defining feature of 1800 GuachiMonton is its unusual orange tequila liqueur cask finish.

While barrel finishing has become increasingly common across premium spirits, 1800 developed GuachiMonton as the first añejo tequila specifically finished in casks previously used for orange tequila liqueur.

The process creates a natural connection between aged tequila and the agricultural history of the region.

GuachiMonton was created as a tribute to Los Guachimontones, the remarkable circular stepped pyramids located near Teuchitlán in Jalisco.

These ancient structures were built using the same distinctive red clay soil found throughout the region where Blue Weber agave is cultivated today.

The orange cask finish carries another connection to local agricultural history, paying tribute to the orange trees once cultivated in this part of Jalisco before agave became the dominant crop.

The bottle reinforces that story visually. Its red ceramic exterior references the iron-rich red clay soils of the Tequila Valley, while the circular wooden cap takes inspiration from the distinctive circular architecture of Los Guachimontones.

Together, the tequila and presentation celebrate the agriculture, history, and landscape of Jalisco.

How to Enjoy

1800 GuachiMonton Añejo Tequila is particularly well suited for sipping neat or on the rocks.

Serving it neat allows its aromas of fresh orange, honey, caramel, ripe fruit, and wood to develop naturally before the tequila transitions into its velvety palate and persistent citrus finish.

A large ice cube can gradually soften the tequila while emphasizing its refreshing orange characteristics.

1800 also recommends GuachiMonton for a traditional Old Fashioned, where the tequila's aged character and orange cask influence naturally complement the cocktail's bitters and citrus components.

For food pairings, its combination of mature tequila and citrus works particularly well alongside grilled red meats, mature cheeses, and chocolate or citrus-based desserts.
