Question about Barrique Don Porfidio

[dieter]

Hi!

I have a question for You all.

I have an original, never opened, cased in blue ceramic tube with gold letters Barriqué from Don Porfidio house, number 212.

I have it because my dad made in the late 90's those ceramic tubes (only 1,000 for export and special government people all over the world) , so the owner of Don Porfidio, Martin Grassl gave him one.

We want to see the cost of this bottle, I know is not cheap, some advise?

Thank You all

With the Ceramic container that your father produced (very cool -- maybe you could share some more information??).. the price would be around 1,000 to 1,300. Without the ceramic perhaps 800 dollars, give or take 100 either way.

How did the containers come about? Did your father produce the square containers for the Porfidio Meritage?

Thanks a lot Ryan for your answer, I will tell my dad about the cost of the bottle.

My dad produced that ceramic tube, just 1,000 and also the round blue bottle (I think it's DP reposado), but the production of this last bottle was over 100,000 pieces, also like 500,000 cobalt blue "caballitos" (shot ceramic made).

My dad's factory was in Mexico City, now we live in Querétaro Mx, but the production with Mr. Martin Grassl (Don Porfidio owner) stopped when he didn't pay a debt with my dad (+/- 20,000 usd). Then we knew that Grassl was living in central america and then europe.... you know........with a lot of problems with Jalisco (Mexican State) Government, Mr. Grassl said that all his troubles comes from other jealous Tequila Company's, but we did know the truth.

In the family we are not Tequila drinkers, but once being in the Don Porfidio Factory in Jalisco, I tasted that tequila, and I have to say that is very very nice.

Thanks a lot Ryan
