Kendall Jenner’s award-winning, hand-crafted tequila brand has finally made it to Australian shores.
The second youngest of Kris Jenner’s children has been making waves with 818 Tequila in recent years, winning 43 blind tasting awards across 13 major industry competitions.
From today Australian customers will be able to pick up one of four of her bottles, starting at $100, at select Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Market stores. The official roll-out across all participating retailers will be October 4.

And if demand in the US and UK is anything to go by, these beautiful bottles are about to fly off the shelf.
“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,” Kendall said of the launch.
There are four varietals of 818 to choose from.
818 Tequila Blanco is an ultra-smooth blend with a bright and crisp citrus finish, with notes of almond, key lime pie and toasted coconut from resting in French oak barrels for three weeks.
818 Tequila Reposado has a smooth caramel finish, with bolder notes of cooked agave and pecan pie after ageing in a blend of oak barrels for three months.
818 Tequila Añejo boasts a deep and complex, and rich flavour profile, with notes of orange peel, chocolate and toffee from ageing for over a year in oak barrels.
And the 818 line is capped off with the stunning Eight Reserve: a blend of Añejos aged up to eight years in French and American barrels.
Coles Liquor General Manager of Customer Loyalty, Mia Lloyd, is over-the-moon that Australian customers will finally be able to get their hands on a bottle or two.
“Our customers have been asking us for 818 Tequila, and now the wait is finally over. We’re thrilled to welcome 818 Tequila to our Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Market shelves and are proud to be first-to-market for what is going to be the drink of the summer,” she said.
