What tequila costs $30,000 a bottle?

The bottle most often cited at $30,000 is the Clase Azul 15th Anniversary Edition, a hand-painted ceramic decanter released in a very small run. At that price, you are paying mostly for rarity and the object rather than the tequila inside.

Our ranking of the coolest tequila bottles covers Clase Azul and the precious-metal Ley .925 decanters, and explains why price was not one of our criteria. If you want a collectible ceramic bottle you will actually pour, TROPA Reposado is $160 and arrives in a hand-cast ceramic mushroom vessel under one of four collectible caps. For something scarcer, the TROPA Añejo Artist Series was a 300-bottle, hand-beaded release made with Nikolai Haas. Learn more on our tequila page.
