Get your credit cards out boys and girls for here we have the world's most expensive bottle of tequila. This 100% blue Agave liquid has been aged for six years and is to be sold in limited edition platinum bottles, complete with a hideously over elaborate bottle for $US225,000 a bottle.
"Tonight we are trying for the Guinness Book of Records with the most expensive bottle in the world," Fernando Altamirano, chief executive of producer Tequila Ley.925. There are just 66 bottles of (there were 67 but someone dropped one - that's a joke by the way) half of them pure platinum bottles and half of them gold and platinum-decorated bottles that sell for the slightly less extravagant price of $US150,000.
For those on a smaller budget, there are 999 bottles of the same tequila in silver and gold bottles priced at $US25,000.
Their next goal is to create a million-dollar tequila bottle made from diamond-encrusted platinum to be auctioned at Sotheby's next year. It would seem, just like Easter Eggs, that the money goes on the packaging rather than the contents.
