The Most Expensive Tequila Bottles in the World

Tequila originated in Mexico and over time became one of the most demanded distillates in the world. To date there are around 1,377 brands. Currently, there are hundreds of brands that offer tequila at different prices, but here we will tell you which are the ten most expensive bottles. History does not offer us information about the inventor of tequila, but it is known that Tommy Hilton spread it throughout the United States. He introduced it to all his hotels in that country, which is currently the number one market. Tequila is made from blue agave, and can be consumed alone or in a cocktail. In recent years, the tequila market has seen incredible growth. The consumption of ultra-premium and premium tequila has gained relevance in the market over other alcoholic spirits, during the last ten years. Most bottles of tequila have an alcohol content of around 40 percent, but there are also up to 60 percent. The latter, for those who enjoy the strongest distillates. Here are the most expensive tequila bottles in the world!

This tequila is aged in French oak barrels for five years. For quality reasons, all bottles have the year of harvest registered, as well as the serial number and the signature. This is a limited edition that was aged in port wine barrels that contain high levels of sugar. The above gives it a rather peculiar sweetness. The bottles are made in Italy entirely by hand and each one is a masterpiece.

Unlike previous tequilas that are distilled and cured through traditional processes, this one is made using a chemical process. This refines and separates the tequila to obtain the highest possible quality. Tequila is aged in small French oak barrels for about a year and then stored in artisanal, hand-blown glass bottles. It is a vintage with an intense flavor, amber in color and very difficult to find.
