1800 Collectible Tequila Bottles

[MrAgave]

I heard from a friend of mine today that 1800 Tequila is coming out with 9 different versions of their standard blanco bottle. A collectors series that will have 9 individual artist renditions printed on the back, due to hit the shelves in May or June. I'll try to get some photos...

Wow, thats neat and worth starting a collection with. 1800 Blanco is only about 22.00 here! Thanks.

So it will be similar to the 1800 Artisan Repos of past years?

Here is a link to what I am talking about for those who have not seen them:

Yes, but I believe the print will be on the back, to see through the bottle, which is probably why they are doing it on the blanco (for clarity).

[Tequila Joe]

Interesting, I look forward to seeing it. I guess that means I have to buy 9 bottles of 1800 blanco. I wonder if it is going to be at a higher price or at the regular price. Either way, with it being a blanco I do not think it will be too bad of a price point.

[MrAgave]

I'm pretty sure he said the price would be the same, just something to fancy up the bottle a bit and drive some new interest.

This would definitely drive up interest, can't wait to see what they look like.

It certainly sounds like fun.

I just tried the 1800 Blanco this week and was happy to find it quite tasty. It might be difficult to leave all 9 bottles unopened.

Any idea if they are planning of having all nine designs plus three that are doubled in a case of twelve? Or having a single design per case? Because I really dont see any liquor store around here buying 9 cases of 1800.

[Tequila Joe]

I would assume it would not be a mixed case. The point is to sell more and by making it a mixed case they would lose sales. If they were smart they would even stagger their timing of each product to make sure they sell more. Usually tho, stores (at least in CA) have the option of buying single bottles but they do not get the case discount but on a cheap product they are most likely going to by 1 case and we will all have to go hunting for the entire collection.
