The story behind 818
Tequila is a spirit distilled from blue Weber agave, and the style you pick depends mostly on aging. Blanco goes into the bottle young, so the agave leads: bright, peppery, a little green. Reposado rests in oak for a couple of months, which rounds the edges and adds a soft vanilla and caramel note without burying the plant.
We stock 818 Blanco and 818 Reposado in 750mL at the Commack store. It is a small allocation for us, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.

Which 818 is right for you?
The 818 Blanco is $35.99 and the Reposado is $39.99, both 750mL. For a few dollars more the Reposado gives you the rounder, oak touched pour. We keep one to two bottles of each on the shelf, so if you want both, grab them while they are here.
Clean agave and pepper hold up in a shaken margarita.
Oak softens it enough to pour neat or over one cube.
