A Rare Auction Is Being Held For A $25,000 Bottle Of Tequila This Week

Would you pay $25,000 for a bottle of tequila?

Maybe if it’s this tequila, as 1800 Tequila and BlockBar will exclusively auction an extra-rare vintage of 1800 Colección Tequila with an accompanying custom-designed decanter by renowned artist Leonora Carrington.

Actually that’s just the opening bidding price. It will likely go even higher once the auction is completed. The action is here on BlockBar.com, the world’s first DTC NFT marketplace for luxury wines and spirits. 10 a.m., EST on Monday, Sept. 12,  ending at midnight on Thursday, September 15.

Bids can be placed via BlockBar.com and payment may be submitted via ETH, credit card or wire transfer. To make a bid using ETH you must have the funds in your wallet and be connected to BlockBar. At midnight, all winning bidders have two hours to submit the full balance. Full terms and conditions may be found on BlockBar.com. Bidders planning on using wire transfer must pre-approve the funds by going to BlockBar.com, selecting payment method under the profile icon on the top right of the screen and clicking payment methods, and select “verify funds” for pre-approval. The users who successfully check out will receive an NFT representing the 1800 Colección Tequila physical bottle, which is stored with BlockBar until the bottle owner is ready to redeem.

1800 Colección Tequila is one of the rarest tequilas in the world. 1800 Tequila worked closely with celebrated surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, prior to her passing, to curate a unique decanter titled “El Rey del Tequila” complementing 1800 Colección rare extra añejo tequila. Carrington created only 15 of these silver-sculpted masterpieces fifteen years ago; none have never been released for public sale.
