1800 Tequila Brand History
1800 claims to be the #1 super-premium tequila in the US, the world’s first premium tequila, as well as the world’s most awarded family of tequilas. 1800 is named after the first year that tequila was aged in oak casks, not when the brand was founded.
1800 tequila is part of Becle, or the Cuervo Group, who founded the brand in 1975. The Beckmann family are descendants of Jose Cuervo and currently own 87% of Becle. Becle is the world’s largest seller of tequila.
