Limited-Edition 1800 Tequila Collaborates with Artist Daniel Cordas for Exclusive Bottle Release
Global tequila brand 1800 Tequila has partnered with celebrated artist Daniel Cordas to unveil a new limited-edition bottle. This collaboration offers tequila enthusiasts and art aficionados the opportunity to own an exclusive piece of artwork, together with a premium spirit.
Acclaimed Artist Daniel Cordas
With a reputation for designing trainers and bespoke artwork for high-profile clients such as Floyd Mayweather, Stormzy, Chipmunk, and Billie Eilish, Cordas brings a fusion of UK street culture and Mayan artistry to the new 1800 Tequila bottle. The partnership aims to honor Mexican street art and the genre's roots in folk art.
Of the 500 bottles produced, one is a unique, hand-painted creation by Cordas himself. A total of 500 bottles are available for purchase, with prices starting at £45 and stock available at retailers like Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Hedonism, and Selfridges.
1800 Tequila: A Tradition of Premium Quality
Since its inception as the world's first premium tequila, 1800 Tequila has remained committed to its original formula and double distillation process. Produced from 100% Blue Weber highland agave and bottled in Mexico, the tequila offers a sweeter, smoother, more complex flavor than many competitors.
The brand's arrival in the UK has been marked by a determination to challenge common perceptions about tequila consumption. By offering a limited-edition bottle designed by a renowned artist, 1800 Tequila continues to push the boundaries of what a tequila experience can be.
Bridging Cultures and Celebrating Art
The limited-edition bottle represents the vibrant allure of Mexican folk art, complemented by Cordas' signature floral style and penchant for pastel hues. The design is characterized by its eye-catching depiction of the agave plant, the symbol of 1800 Tequila's tequila production, and a harmonious blend of warm oranges and reds with icy blues and fresh greens, embodying the spirit of Mexico and offering a refreshing sip.
Daniel Cordas shared: "I've merged color and composition with the same finesse as an 1800 Margarita, blending authentic Mexican folk art with my own style and signature floral. The iconic Agave plant is central to my design, an offering that honors its role in this limited-run collection."
Celebrating Mexican Voices and Artistic Diversity
Though not explicitly referenced in the current collaboration, other limited-edition bottles from 1800 Tequila’s Essential Artist Series have showcased the work of Mexican multimedia artist Raúl de Nieves. De Nieves' designs often feature a multimedia approach that incorporates painting, sculpture, and performance, and draw heavily from his Mexican heritage and identity.
By collaborating with artists like Cordas and de Nieves, 1800 Tequila seeks to elevate Mexican voices and celebrate the diversity of Mexican culture on a global stage.
