Kendall Jenner’s tequila is now available in Australia exclusively via Liquorland and First Choice following its US and UK launches.

The range consists of four variants: the 818 Tequila Blanco featuring a crisp citrus finish, almond, key lime pie, and toasted coconut flavours; the 818 Tequila Reposado featuring a caramel finish, cooked agave and pecan pie flavours; and the 818 Tequila Añejo featuring orange peel, chocolate, and toffee flavours.

The range is capped off with the Eight Reserve, a blend of Añejos aged up to eight years in French and American barrels, bottled in a hand-crafted ceramic decanter.

818 Tequila harvests its agave plants at peak maturity (after 6-7 years), before slow cooking each batch in traditional ovens for roughly 30 hours. Following traditional tahona wheel extraction, the spirit is naturally fermented before distillation inside alembic copper pot stills, and is then aged in American and French oak barrels. 

818 Tequila recently became a BCorp certified operation, with its distillery run on biomass and solar power to reduce carbon emissions, with the bottles made from recycled glass, and paper products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. 

The 818 Tequila range is available from select Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Market stores. 

Packaging News

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
