This is one of the better designed modern bottles on the market. The tequila inside is very good, but probably not worth the premium price that come with the image that this juice portrays.
The 3X distillation comes from a redistill of Cazadores Añejo tequila and then re-aging for the Reposado and Añejo, is the story I've heard. Post autoclave diffuser product meaning autoclave cooking and then diffuser extraction and it shows in some serious underlying bitterness not from oak or flavorings. Heavy glass bottle and some custom labels highlight the upscale presentation. An envelope on the neck opens to reveal a 4 panel, business card size foldout that opens to reveal info on all 3 expressions. All the money is wasted though as the tequila is as poor as any mainstream juice can be. Sad really. Bottle is from 2009, maybe 2010 or so and is using real cork. Still tastes vibrant, if poor. The things I do to keep up with Craig, wink, wink...
