While Casamigos is refreshing and bright, 818 is sweet and tastes like vanilla.
Each website has flavor notes listed for the respective bottles. According to the companies, Casamigos blanco delivers a taste that's "fruit forward with notes of vanilla and grapefruit," and 818 blanco offers "sweet agave and vanilla, with undertones of tropical and citrus fruit."
After sampling each tequila plain at room temperature, plain with ice, with lime and ice, and with grapefruit and ice, I unsurprisingly got different tasting notes each time.
The biggest flavor difference I noticed right away was that 818 had an obvious vanilla aroma, which isn't listed in the aroma notes. It did carry over into the taste, as promised. Though it was listed on the site, I was not expecting this distinct of a vanilla flavor. It was so blatant that it almost felt as though the spirit had been infused.
When I tried 818 alone, cold, and with both citruses, the vanilla flavor still took over any of the other tasting notes listed. It reminded me more of Jordan's $130 añejo the way it took on the flavored sweetness.
Lime cut the potency of the vanilla, but it didn't make it disappear. Grapefruit surprisingly complemented the flavors, though it tasted more like a dessert than a tequila cocktail, in my opinion.
I moved on to the familiar Casamigos and noticed the more agave-forward flavor profile. I didn't taste any of the listed vanilla at all. It was more of a natural nectar sweetness than a flavored or aged sweetness. In this case, lime and grapefruit both brought out the fresh qualities of the spirit and highlighted its smooth finish.
