Most Expensive Tequila

How much would you pay for your favorite bottle of Tequila? You may know what the cheapest tequila is at your local bar, but many enjoy their favorite top shelf brand. But, what is the most expensive tequila in the world?

One Tequila connoisseur has bought earlier this year what is thought to be the most expensive bottle of Tequila in the world at US$225,000: Pasion Azteca, Platinum Liquor Bottle by Tequila Ley .925

Each one of the limited-edition expensive tequila bottles, which resemble a barbed sea shell and are engraved by Alejandro Gomez Oropeza, a Mexican artist, are filled with Pasion Azteca tequila, made from pure sap of the blue agave plant that has been fermented, distilled, and aged for six years.

An additional 33 bottles have been made out of gold and platinum and retail slightly less for $150,000 while the range of gold and silver bottles of expensive tequila will set you back by $25,000.

Mr Altamirano, whose company, Tequila Ley .925, has won several awards for its unorthodox bottle designs, claimed one buyer has already bought an undisclosed number of bottles but he refused to say where the offer came from.

“Since we started out, we began with the idea of making the finest, most expensive bottle of tequila in the world,” Mr Altamirano said.

Much of the Pasion Azteca’s price tag is down to the quantity of platinum of the bottle rather than the actual quality of the tequila inside, but it is the world’s most expensive tequila.
