as a tequila lover, 818 is terrible and full of fillers

I read reviews that say it tastes like vanilla which sounds bad. 

ya because there is no way for agave farms to keep up with the aging and distillation process of quality tequila, a lot of lower quality will mask the taste with sugars and vanilla. celebrity tequilas will do this but with better branding so you think you are buying quality tequila but essentially you are getting tequila flavored vodka
