1800® Tequila have collaborated with world-renowned contemporary artist Enoc Perez for the 8th edition of their Essential Artist Series. Enoc’s famed architectural collection, used for the 1800 Tequila bottles, features six iconic buildings from across the world, including London’s much-loved ‘Gherkin’. If you have a budding mixologist in your life who is a lover of London, this limited edition bottle of double-distilled premium tequila made from 100% blue agave ticks all the boxes this Christmas.
Founded as a means to showcase art in non-traditional medium, each year the series presents a new discussion around the crucial link between art and culture, as told through the work of cultural vanguards such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Each limited edition instantly becomes a collector’s item. This year, through Perez, the spotlight shifts to cities as cultural epicentres and breeding grounds for edgy yet refined style.
The limited edition 1800 Tequila bottle featuring the ‘Gherkin’ will be available to purchase exclusively from the London branch of Selfridges, as part of its London-themed Christmas shop, priced at £39.99 (70cl, 38% ABV), while stocks last.
Come and try 1800 Tequila before you buy – sampling will be taking place in the London Selfridges store every Wednesday and Thursday in the lead-up to Christmas, starting from 1st November, 2-8pm. If you purchase a bottle of 1800 Tequila during this time you’ll also receive a free 5cl bottle. Use as a stocking filler for another tequila-lover in your life or keep it as a gift for yourself. Every purchase will also be gift-wrapped with specially designed ‘Gherkin’ print wrapping paper to create an impressive gift.
In addition, 1800 Tequila are also offering a beautiful twin pack of 20cl bottles of 1800 Silver and 1800 Reposado on Amazon, priced at £22, while stocks last.
Tequila is one of the most versatile and characterful spirits around. It is gloriously silky in texture, adding a complex depth of flavour to classic cocktails. Try in the latest aperitivo cocktail, the 1800 Blush – a deliciously refreshing combination of 1800 Silver Tequila and Fentimans Rose Lemonade, served over ice and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of pink grapefruit. Perfect as a pre-Christmas lunch aperitif instead of your usual glass of fizz.
