Wouldn't a platinum bottle create a risk of altering the flavor of the tequila?

This stuff is not for drinking. This is so you can tell your friends: "You wanna know how much f****** money I've got? I just bought a bottle of tequila -- for $225,000!!!"

re: platinum bottle

Naah, doubt it. Pt is a notably non-reactive metal, though when very finely divided, it can act as a catalyst for other chem reactions. And like (but less than) Palladium, it can absorb surprisingly large amounts of hydrogen gas.

I'm partial to Cazadores tequila for the lower hangover level; Commemorativo for the smoothness, even though it's "fake", rice-dominated tequila.

Jose Cuervo = IMO one of the biggest and most successful frauds ever perpetrated. Rice tequila.

If you paid a quarter of a million dollars for a bottle of booze, would you drink it?
