Ray Liotta and Michael K. Williams Star in 1800 Tequila “Enough Said Episodes” Series

NEW YORK, New York (April 1, 2015) – 1800® Tequila is pleased to announce the next stage of its groundbreaking “Enough Said” campaign. Created by The VIA Agency and entitled “Enough Said Episodes”, the video series will feature Ray Liotta and Michael K. Williams reminiscing on personal stories of struggle, toughness and triumph. Through separate narratives, each man expands on the values inherent to the 1800® drinker – namely, what it means to be effortlessly masculine, unique and impossibly cool.
In the first edition of the video series, 1800® follows brand spokesman and esteemed wiseguy Ray Liotta on a journey through New York City as he discusses his ceaseless pursuit of quality, as both an actor and an 1800® drinker, sharing teeth-cutting anecdotes of his rise in the industry. Following Ray is Michael K. Williams, famous for his tough, antiheroic “Omar” on the critically acclaimed HBO series “The Wire”. In his video, Williams reflects and riffs on the ice-cool machismo he learned growing up in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The uncompromising epitome of masculinity in the® Tequila channels the spirits of Ray and Michael through the campaign to exhibit its own effortlessly cool personality. Made from 100% blue agave, 1800® Silver Tequila is double distilled, and a special selection of white tequilas is blended together for added complexity and character. The result is a super-premium tequila with a smoother, more interesting flavor than most on the market.  1800® Silver Tequila exhibits a unique, “pale yellow diamond” color character. Born of 100% pure blue agave grown on family-owned ranches and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico, 1800® Silver Tequila possesses a round, medium-bodied palate with sweet prune, roasted pepper and delicate spice flavors finishing with a long sweet fruit and pepper fade.
The first video featuring Ray Liotta will launch on April 1st on YouTube.com/1800TequilaOfficial, followed by the Michael K. Williams video on April 15th.
