Get ready to raise your glasses because Kendall Jenner’s renowned 818 Tequila has officially landed in Australia.
The supermodel and entrepreneur has brought her tequila sensation down under, and it’s set to become the tequila of the season. If its success in the US and UK is any indication, expect these stunning bottles to vanish from the shelves in no time.
“We are thrilled to be launching 818 Tequila in Australia and we hope that 818 will find success here as it has all over the world. 818 is all about a sense of community and bringing people together, and we think our ethos aligns perfectly with the Australian consumer.” – 818 Founder, Kendall Jenner.
Kendall Jenner started 818 Tequila with a big focus on being eco-friendly. They’re changing the way tequila is made to make it more sustainable. 818 Tequila uses power from plants and the sun to run the brand distillery, which helps cut down on pollution. The bottles they use are made from old glass, and they make sure to use paper that’s approved by the Forest Stewardship Council. Plus, they became part of the B Corporation™ group in March 2023, which is a big deal for companies that care about the planet.
“We want to keep as classic a profile as possible, this was very important for our team, Kendall included. We’re celebrating the tradition of this centuries old industry and doing something really special for the heritage of Mexico. Tequila is such a huge part of our festivities and sharing our better moments as people, as family, as friends. 818 now offers the world that.” Director of Tequila Operations, David Yan Gonzalez.
