In a series of Instagram Stories, a long line of eager fans met The Kardashians star at the Total Wine Spirits & More store in Westbury, New York.
On Friday, September 15, the Hulu notable donned a sleeveless white top with black pants as she posed with her followers.
Attendees also received a signed 818 Tequila bottle from the event.
While the star greeted fans, her tequila bottles arrived in stores in Australia.
According to Australia’s 7 News, her bottles, priced at $100, arrived at select Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Market stores in early September.
In an online thread, an eagle-eyed sleuth took a snapshot of the bottles in an Australian store and their hefty price tags.
In the comments section, critics slammed the 818 Tequila Reposado (at $110) and the 818 Tequila Anejo (at #120) for not being “that great to buy.”
“It’s not a good tequila. Genuinely,” one person claimed.
Another added: “It’s also an overpriced bad quality tequila. Tequila should not taste like vanilla extract.”
A third mentioned: “Sure, it might not taste bad but does it taste $110 good?”
One user wrote: “Objectively it’s not great.
“A lounge near me had it as the tequila in one of the cocktails, and the drink got sent back too many times.
“That aside, this is far too expensive for a bottle of tequila of this quality.”
A commentator chimed: “I enjoyed it as a sipping tequila on ice. But it’s not worth the money for sure.
“There’s stuff equally as good for less money.”
THE TASTE TEST
In March 2022, the 818 tequila brand ended up ranking last in a competitive taste test.
Six BuzzFeed writers participated in the taste testing of celebrity-owned alcohol brands.
The three tequila brands tested were actor George Clooney’s Casamigos, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Teremana, and Kendall’s 818 Tequila.
The taste testers unanimously agreed that Kendall’s brand was their least favorite of the bunch and even deemed the beverage “un-drinkable.”
‘LONG WEEKEND’
After launching the brand in May 2021, the Victoria’s Secret model has continued to promote her liquor brand despite the negative reviews.
During Labor Day Weekend, in her Instagram post, the brunette beauty posed near a huge glistening lake and held a bottle of her tequila.
The supermodel flaunted her bikini body as she gazed over the lake and wrote: “Cheers to a long weekend with @drink818!”
