818 Tequila is continuing its global expansion

Having found success in both the U.S. and the U.K. since its launch in 2021, Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila will now be heading to Europe too thanks to a new distribution deal with Salud Spirits. This deal will see 818 Tequila heading to bars and stores in the Netherlands and Austria, as the brand continues to roll out worldwide.

Not every celebrity-backed spirit is a winner, but 818 Tequila has been highly ranked by drinkers for its fine, complex flavors. The brand also has a commitment to sustainability, achieving recognition as a B Corp for its social and environmental responsibility practises last year.

“I am so proud of this achievement in our first two years of business,” said Kendall Jenner, Founder of 818 Tequila, at the time. “I founded this company with sustainability at its core, and to be recognized for this commitment motivates us to continue building on these goals. This is just the first step, we will continue to work hard to make 818 as sustainable as possible.”

The brand works in partnership with communities in Mexico through programs like “Buy a Bottle, Give a Brick” which donated resources to Mexican infrastructure projects for each bottle purchased, using by products from the agave production process to create adobe bricks that can be used in public building projects.

The range of 818 Tequila includes a blanco, reposado, and an añejo, plus a special Eight Reserve expression which is a blend of eight year aged tequilas which have spent time in French and American oak barrels to develop complex flavors.

High end whisky brand Royal Salute is extending its 62 Gun Salute offering into a collection, featuring two new blends as part of the 62 Gun Salute Collection. Joining other whisky offerings from Chivas Brothers, the Peated Reserve and American Oak Reserve are the pinnacle of luxury whiskies from the brand.

The Original Reserve in the 62 Gun Salute series, named for the ceremonial tradition held at the Tower of London to honor events like births, accessions, and coronations of the royal family, is a blend of 50 Scottish malt and grain whiskies with notes of plum and sherry sweetness. The Peated Reserve is also a blend of 50 whiskies but focuses more on smokey flavors with notes of tangy citrus, while the American Oak Reserve is aged in American Oak casks to develop a depth of flavor and to enhance the tropical fruit flavors.

Making sense of vodka terms: Your complete guide
You'll finally learn everything you wanted to know about vodka
