Process & Aging

1800 Milenio Extra Añejo Tequila begins with 100% Blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico.

The agave is handpicked at peak ripeness before being carefully cooked in traditional masonry ovens. This slow cooking process transforms the agave's natural carbohydrates into fermentable sugars while developing its characteristic roasted sweetness.

Following cooking and extraction, the agave undergoes fermentation before being double distilled in copper pot stills.

The tequila then begins an extensive maturation process lasting more than three years in a combination of new American and French oak barrels with high char and toast.

This extended interaction with oak develops the deeper color, texture, vanilla, fruit, spice, and wood characteristics expected from an Extra Añejo tequila.

After more than three years of primary maturation, the tequila receives an additional finishing period in French oak Cognac barrels.

This secondary maturation adds another layer of complexity while helping create the balanced and soft profile that defines 1800 Milenio.

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

What Makes It Special

1800 Milenio represents the most extensively matured style within the 1800 Tequila range.

The defining characteristic is its combination of Extra Añejo maturation and secondary Cognac barrel finishing.

The tequila first spends more than three years in new American and French oak barrels. This extended aging period allows the Blue Weber agave spirit to develop significantly more barrel influence than younger expressions such as 1800 Reposado or Añejo.

The mature tequila is then transferred into French Cognac barrels for an additional finishing period.

Rather than relying exclusively on traditional tequila maturation, this additional cask treatment introduces another dimension to the finished spirit and contributes to Milenio's balance of vanilla, red fruit, cinnamon, oak, and mint chocolate.

Its Extra Añejo classification also distinguishes it from 1800 Añejo and Cristalino. While those expressions explore shorter maturation and different finishing or filtration techniques, Milenio centers on extended aging exceeding three years.

The result is a mature tequila designed primarily around depth, softness, and the interaction between Blue Weber agave, new oak, and French Cognac barrels.

How to Enjoy

1800 Milenio Extra Añejo Tequila is ideally enjoyed neat to appreciate the characteristics developed through its extended maturation.

Pour a small serving into a tequila or stemmed tasting glass and allow it to rest briefly before drinking. This gives its oak and vanilla aromas time to open before revealing the red fruit and cinnamon characteristics of the palate.

Take small sips and allow the tequila's texture and flavors to develop gradually. The distinctive mint-chocolate finish becomes particularly noticeable toward the end of the experience.

Milenio can also be served over a large ice cube, although enjoying it neat provides the clearest expression of its extended maturation and Cognac barrel finishing.
