Chavalas!! It burns!!... Good!! Tequila is supposed to burn!! You "connoisseurs" need to go to tasting wine and cheese. 1800 is good shooting tequila, does the trick..Leave the hangovers and burning sensations for real tequila drinkers..Go judge chinaco and tell your guero friends what a tequila expert you are!!! Sin limon y sal, 1800 estan tequila muy firme.

1800 is very smooth, perhaps overly smooth - so smooth it could be vodka rather than tequila. Since I have compared it to vodka, I must note that the taste is weak and lacking. In summation: 1800 is well advertised but not so well made; it lacks the essence of good tequila.

OK. I just took a 3-ounce shot of 1800 reposado. Nothing! The taste was strong, much stronger than Patron silver. The effect? I am still sitting here typing just as lucid as if I had not taken any. I am not an avid drinker, so my tolerance is still rahter embarrasingly low - especially in comparison to most of my compatriots and colleagues who do have a tad bit more extensive history with "the spirits."
Honestly, I am kind of pissed off, as I chose 1800 over Patron because I had heard so much about it being "good." I have had less Captain Morgan's spiced rum in a mixed drink (daiquirri) and felt more of a buzz! WTFIU?

I know too much of this would send me into a coma!

At the opposite extreme from the bottom-barrel regular Cuervo, this tequila does not have the big "kick" of the cheaper stuff. In fact, it's smooth, almost to the point of having no flavor at all. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than a fruit-heavy margarita.
trebon1038 09/19/2006
crap....not bad in a margarita or two but if you plan on drinking much of it it will give you a bad hangover and you MUST have the salt and lime to go with it....not a very good tasting tequila to drink by itself.

Unfortunately popular by name, as with Jose Cuervo. Towards the bottom of the 100% agave tequilas, but fortunately it is at least now 100% agave, not expensive, and better than Jose Cuervo or Sauza. Too much of a 'dirty' (heavy?) taste to me. They must add caramel or something to this, or it just gets too much flavor from the barrels. I'd even recommend Cuervo Tradicional over this. People saying this is the best they've tried obviously haven't tried any premium tequila. Also adding the name 'Cuervo' is not correct. It's simply '1800'.
dj lithos 09/10/2004
I've never met a tequila that I didn't like and Cuervo 1800 is the best of my experience. Very smooth and gets you drunk very quickly. You feel a buzz before the first shot even makes it down your throat.
JJbishop 08/31/2004
Not my cup of tea
UnoDosTres 02/24/2004
Too much caramel coloring and additives!
DickWeener 01/21/2004
5 stars as long as it's the Black Label 1800
Truth is Out There 08/20/2003
Delectable! I want to personally than Cuervo 1800 for giving me many new friends, the nerve to dance on bar tops in Mexico, and some of the best blurry memories ever...>:)

A VERY FINE TEQUILA TO SIP ON. NO SALT OR LIME NEEDED
cjose 06/02/2003
THIS IS NOT EVEN TEQUILA, WHY BOTHER
Posidon1956 05/21/2003
what a horrible brand...it burns your lips, mouth, and throat. Even mixing it still burns and makes you quiver. Leaves you with a empty head, and a hangover in the morning. As this site was layed out, this is my Opinion, if you don't like it that doesn't mean it wasn't helpful, it just means you haven't seen the light yet.
lowrider 04/29/2003
this is good tequila but not anything great it is worth trying and drinking from time to time but the are lot's of better tequilas out there
deba 02/03/2003
I thought for years that 1800 was it. Now having tried Chinaco Anejo we dumped the 1800 in the blender. The difference doing shots it night and day. Forget the cheap stuff try Chinaco if you really want to know what smooth means.
Tequila Tanner 01/24/2003
Is this site for Cuervo employees or people born without tastebuds? Cuervo alone is responsible for tequila's bad reputation for giving people horrible hangovers and making people sick. It is THE WORST possible tequila you can drink! I drink the cheapest rail tequila before I will put that crap in my body. Real gold tequila is aged in oak barrels for years, and white tequila (my favorite) is aged in stainless steel tanks but Cuervo doesn't even bother to age the stuff...they just add caramel coloring and ship it to the stores. If everyone's first experience with tequila had been with Patron instead of Cuervo, tequila would be more popular than beer today! Go to a good tequila bar and sample the good stuff people and use the Cuervo for what it's meant for...to unclog your toilet!
crowbar 12/11/2002
Yep, I guess Cuervo is the one for tequilla; not that I can remember exactly what i get served when I'm at the point of ordering up Tequilla, though. Dont ever try tequiza beer though...very poor.
yogmuney 11/26/2002
Cuervo 1800 is for people who have never had really good tequila. These are folks who sstarted drinking Poncho Villa and never got much further. It is the Michelob of Tequilas, a little bit better than Budwiser, but not like a micro brew.
ichadwick 10/07/2001
Overpriced. Only acceptable if 100% agave version -- the mixto version is swill.
delilah 06/25/2001
I don't know wich brand of tequila I choosed, but to me, Tequila is tequila (don't blame me for saying that) and I only want to compliment the person who discovered the combination salt-tequila-lemon.That's the best mix together ever ! It could have been my idea !
rdee3843om 06/25/2001
to be honest I dig 1800, and Cuervo GOLD... Both awesome... 1800 is a bit more flavor intense.. Great taste.. But either or is well worth the cashola..
George W 12/17/2000
It's the best tasting alcohol there is when it comes to tequila. It is strong, and tastes best when added with lime and salt.
j-ride 12/16/2000
For tequila, 1800 is really good. I'm not much of a tequila drinker, but this stuff is decent. It's too bad it costs so much and not everyone can afford it.
Coutrney 12/16/2000
This tequila is good and great in Margaritas. However, I think that it is a little overrated. It's not nearly as smooth as Patron.
gabito 12/15/2000
Real tequila, perfect for shots or mixed drinks. Smooth, bitter flavor in every shot. It is healthy also, and doesn't give headaches. Any party starts with Cuervo 1800 on the table!
Kazaam 12/15/2000
Cuervo 1800 is my personal favorite tequila because it makes the perfect Margaritas. Cuervo 1800 has more alcohol by volume so you can be sure that just one pitcher of Cuervo Gold Margaritas will be enough to get you smashed.
Stephanie M 12/14/2000
This is very smooth. Just one shot is enough to make me feel good.
Paste 12/13/2000
This is by far the nastiest drink I ever tasted in my entire life. It's nasty, it burns, and it tastes bad to mix. I hurled many times from this. It's the worst liquid ever and should be recalled.
torres 12/13/2000
It's a nice and colorful drink. It will mess you up. I also like the bottle- I have one on my dresser. I would take hella shots until I was super drunk.
Weezer66 Stang 12/11/2000
This is the best tequila I've tasted. I don't really like tequila, it's too strong for me to drink straight and you have to have too much mixer to drown out the taste.
Kook 12/11/2000
Very smooth is the way to describe it. Goes down very easy and I have a lot of memories of Mexico because of it. Only tequila that you can actually enjoy taking shots of. Excellent in mixed drinks.
Ashmun 11/22/2000
This was the first hard alcohol to make me throw up.
maddogs 11/17/2000
Tequila is nasty. Cuervo is the best out of all of them. It tastes bad and it's not worth the money. I would never buy it.
highcee 11/17/2000
Great for everyday consumption. Best when served with lemon and Naci. Does wonders for nasal congestion and eye twitching, although it causes some major hangovers.
gary2540om 12/11/1999
you must all be cuervo employees or live in b.f.e.
Swee2003om 12/01/1999
my all time favorite tequila
john430et 11/23/1999
If you think tequila means trying to restrain your gag reflex while you desperately suck that lime, think again. This stuff can actually be sipped -- it's that good.
dj591487om 11/23/1999
Cuervo is a fine top shelf liquor
NYMA1093OM 11/11/1999
So smooth it goes down like water
FLAB1061OM 11/10/1999
It is a very good tasting tequila for the price.
zinn941om 11/07/1999
Cuervo 1800 - by far the best.
CDKI842OM 11/05/1999
This is my favorite tequila, as a shot or as a drink it goes down smooth. I perfer it as a shot, but make sure the bartender chill's the shots, because warm vodka doesn't go down smooth.
