10 Most Expensive Tequila Brands In The World

Tequila is a distilled beverage coming from a certain region named Tequila and some areas in its neighborhood in Spain. While some enjoy tequila with lime and salt, some with margarita, the true aficionados of tequila generally drink it as a fine liquor without anything else used to curb its real taste. What makes a tequila great is the percentage of Weber blue agave juice in it. Some of the greatest tequilas in the world are made from 100 per cent Weber blue agave juice, without any other ingredients. It is said that quality tequilas are not meant to be mixed, but sipped! 

When we talk about expensive tequila, it is not always the drink that bears the extravagant amount, sometimes, it might be the bottle as well, that is adorned with gold, platinum, and other precious items. All things combined, including the quality of the blue agave, the years of ageing, the decorations of the bottle, etc. determine the price of a tequila bottle.
