Sadly, a majority of my Tequila-drinking experience is limited to Tequila poppers as a college student or gulping cheap Margaritas on the rocks at Happy Hours across town. As a result, I am not what anyone would consider to be a Tequila connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. However, tasting tequila and admiring a beautiful piece of art are two completely different things; while I can’t vouch for the taste of 1800 Tequila, I’m giving their new bottle designs a two-thumbs up.
1800 Tequila recently commissioned nine artists to create new designs for their bottles. Each bottle will be a limited edition with only 1800 made. Ideally the limited edition bottles will reflect both the tastes (so to speak) of the individual artist and reflects our somewhat strange pop culture. Check out their web-site if you want more details on where to find a bottle. The bottles retail for $25 according to Wired Magazine, which would be my absolute and total authority on anything related to drinking, if I actually drank anything more than the occasional micro-brew.
