The Tesla Tequila is being officially launched by the brand after being initially shown off as an April Fool's Day prank to offer consumers a high-end spirit that is perfect for crafting premium cocktails and more. The tequila is made by Nosotros Tequila and has been expertly packaged into a lightning bolt-shaped bottle that is sure to catch the eye when placed on display in the home. The spirit features a 40% ABV and has been aged for an extended period in French oak barrels to further enhance the high-quality flavor of the alcohol.
Priced at $250 a bottle, the spirit was explained further by the brand which said, "Introducing Tesla Tequila, an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels and into a hand-blown glass bottle, Tesla Tequila features a dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish. Best enjoyed as a sipping tequila."
