¡Ay Dios Mio! The Worlds Most Expensive Tequila Up For Auction?

Last month we mentioned the worlds most expensive whisky. Well this month is Tequila month at KYSU, we'll try to get some tequila based cocktails and reviews in this December. *Update* we'll try to get some tequila based cocktails and reviews ASAP.

According to The Luxist a special bottle of tequila is supposed to be auctioned off in London, with the hopes that it will go for a bid of $3.5 million.The previous price record for a bottle of tequila was $225,000 for a bottle also made by La Capilla.

The Tequila called "The Law of the Diamond" or in Spanish "La Ley Del Diamante", crafted by by the Tequilera Hacienda La Capilla, comes in a diamond encrusted bottle. There are supposedly more than 4,000 diamonds in the bottle and about 2 1/2 kilos of Platinum, making this one heavy bottle of tequila (in more ways than one),  weighing in at approximately 8 kilos.

Oh, and yes, it is a 100% agave tequila. No Mixtos here.

All I have to say is just wow! $3.5 could buy a lot of bottles of many other great tequilas but I guess that bottle must make a nice center piece. Just hope that your wife doesn't throw out the bottle when it's finished.

Missing: The Worlds Oldest Whisky

I was pondering yesterdays article about the worlds most expensive whisky when I came across another interesting article.

According to the Luxist, the worlds oldest whisky, a 70 year old malt bottled by Gordon and MacPhail from the Mortlach Distillery in Dufftown has disappeared at the Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival. 

This 70 year old whisky was bottled in very limited quantities. A 700 ml bottle fetched about $16,000 and there were also a few 200 ml sample bottles which were going for around $6,000 a piece.

The Importer, Symposion International, thinks that it was stolen towards the end of the show and is asking for help tracking it down. We wish them good luck in finding it.

I wonder what all these 60 and 70 year old spirits taste like?! They better be really darn good but even so $16,000-$160,000 a bottle is just insane. You'd have to be out of your mind or just have so much spare cash just lying around... *sigh*.

Sláinte!

The most expensive whisky in the world?

According to the National Post, Dalmore has just sold two bottles of its Trinitas 64 year old whisky for £100,000 (or in US Dollars ~$160,000) per bottle. These are supposedly the first bottles of whisky to be sold for six figures. One bottle was sold to someone in the US and the other to someone in the UK, the third and last bottle will be sold at a whisky show in London in October.

The distillery claims that if this whisky were to be sold by the glass it would go for about $32,000. Plus, if you do buy this whisky you get a cabinet with documents that prove the stuff is real as well as a lock and key so your friends can't down the stuff when you let your guard down to go to the bathroom.

Man oh man! That better be some damn good whisky, cause if it isn't it just proves the Grey Goose Effect to the X power.

Bottoms up!
