I FIND A FAVORITE ONE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY ITS ANOTHER, IT'S EASIER TO TELL AFTER A FEW SIPS THOUGH. MY FAVORITE FROM MY COLLECTION IS THE LEY 925 GRAN RESERVA OR DON TACHO MILENIO, I HAVE TO GO TAKE ANOTHER SIP AND LOOK AGAIN.

My favorite so far would be the 4 copas Anejo. Blue streaked bottle with a real nice gold painting on the back, very classy. Even nicer looking with a light source behind the bottle.

I love all the different types of Tequila bottles. Forget about the tequila for just one minute....I know it's tuff, but what other liquor has such unique types of bottles. The amount of craftman ship in some of these bottles is just amazing. A few of my favorites would be Don Fulano, a glass bottle wrapped with wire mesh and has a hand painted ceramic neck. Second bottle is El Agave and it is also a glass bottle wrapped in metal with a handle and a Ceramic Pina cork. Lastly, is Don Tacho Reserva Especial, this bottle has two shot glasses inside the bottle, which can be accessed from the bottom by removing the cork.

wow, it's hard to narrow it down to just one, of course there are the Don Julio bottles (Real, 1942), Casa Nobles beautiful ceramic design, Seleccion Suprema clean and luxuriuos, Penca Azul old school cork with cool agave inside, old Porfidio with the hand made bottles, La Fogata small round bottles with flame inside, Canicas old school hand blown corked bottle, Don Fulano's is pretty cool, Aguas Calientes tequila with the hand blown jimador in the bottle,or the hand blown agave leaf in the bottle, that is truly art in a bottle. and even 3,4,5 tequila long sleek design, Arrette's old school look, plain but very,very classy. Campo Azuls' is pretty cool, Tequila Casta-Anejo,is nice, Conde Azul is also cool, and Of course Milagro Romance. i think that's it....

My favorite bottles as of late are the Talavera hand painted ones, I love the way they look and each one is unique. The new El Conde Azul bottles look great with the colored, glass agave spikes! For labels, I like the rustic metal or more traditional ones.

I saw this bottle of Don Tacho Reserva Especial in Mexico over the weekend. It was in pretty bad shape, most of the lettering on the label was gone, and the shot glasses were also missing. The store still viewed it as a treasure and valued it at $400 US.

Well, that is good to know. I can't remember off the top of my head if I purchased the bottle in Mexico or not. Have you been to the area in Guadalarajia, I think called Pachilachi (not sure about spelling), It is a pedistrian street with all the stores selling Tequila amongest other things. I might have purchased the Don Tacho there.

I'm personally fond of the big, 1.75L plastic jugs of Sauza Gold tequila. It screams out, "It'll get you drunk!"

seriously, i personally like Herradura Seleccion Suprema. I like how the top is glass and not just a uniquely shaped cork. The overall shape of the bottle and the simple, yet elegant design of the label.
