We’re pretty big into our spirits here at Coolector HQ but, truth be told, tequila is one that we’re a little slow on the uptake with but we’re always open to new libations and we’ve had our heads turned by 818, the sustainable tequila brand of Kendall Jenner, and this especially true now that they’ve joined forces with one of our favourite brands, Theory 11, on a deck of playing cards. These limited edition playing cards have been produced in collaboration with 818 Tequila and we’re loving their awesome aesthetic that make them perfect for a hand of poker or two.
The Theory 11 x 818 Tequila Playing Cards are available for $12.95 and will add a visual punch to all your card playing exploits in 2022 and beyond. 818 is an award winning tequila from Kendall Jenner and they work with local, family-owned farms in Jalisco, Mexico to deliver the smoothest, most natural, best tasting tequila imaginable. The agaves are sourced from the Los Valles region, aged at least 7 years, cooked for 40 hours, then distilled twice. It’s one of those drinks that needs to be tasted to be believed and this limited edition deck is a celebration of their sustainability endeavours.
SUSTAINABLE ROOTS
Founded by Kendall Jenner, 818 is an award-winning tequila brand that is heavily committed to sustainability throughout their manufacturing processes and that’s definitely something to be celebrated in our opinion here at The Coolector. In less than 12 months, 818 Tequila has won 16 tasting awards at 6 international spirits competitions, including Gold Medal and Best Reposado at the World Tequila Awards – so, needless to say, it’s a tequila that needs to be on your tasting list for 2022.
These Theory 11 x 818 Tequila Playing Cards ($12.95) are illustrated by hand and have been handcrafted with a truly relentless attention to detail. The packaging design for this classy looking deck from Theory 11 is printed on antique letterpress machines dating back to the 1930s – using FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests with 100% renewable electricity. This is very much in keeping with the green / sustainable ethos that drives the 818 Tequila brand.
Inside the box, every aspect of the playing cards is filled with deliciously detailed, intricate illustrations – and this includes custom court cards, aces, jokers, and the sticker seal. 818 is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, and donates 1% of its revenue to environmental nonprofit partners so this is a deck of playing cards that you can feel good about owning and if you’re looking to branch out on your spirit choices in 2022, 818 Tequila might just be the perfect place to start.
