Tesla Tequila

Elon Musk besides being the richest man in the world could also be the most interesting man.

He runs a company that puts people in space, just acquired Twitter, makes flamethrowers, tunnels and now has decided to put the name of his electric car company in a Tequila.

But is it as good as his rockets.

Is Tesla Tequila real? Who makes it?

I think this Tequila was made so that you can have it in your house as a token or a collectible item without the need for you to drink it.

Tesla is perhaps a collectible for those who adore Elon Musk. I just heard Sen. Elizabeth Warren will be buying one very soon.

How does Tesla Tequila taste?

The nose reminds me of Don Julio 1942, as it displays agave flavor, along vanilla and oak.

On the palate, Tesla is smooth, overly smooth, extremely rich in vanilla, with very little agave and a faint oak note.

The finish has decent length, with sweet notes and very little warmth.

Most celebrity tequilas tend to be artificially sweetened as a means to become more appealing and even though I can’t assure I bet Tesla uses additives.

According to the laws that govern tequila this practice is legal as long as additives remain less than 1% of the total content.

Other celebrity Tequilas that are suspicious of using artificial sweeteners are Kendall Jenner’s 818 and Michael Jordan’s Cincoro.

How to drink Tesla Tequila?

Drink Tesla either neat or rocks and don’t mix it; expensive Tequilas don´t make good mixers.

Enjoy it in a whisky tumbler as opposed to a Tequila glass, the tumbler allows for a better appreciation of sweet aromas.

Is Tesla Tequila any good?

Tesla is an overly sweet, perhaps artificially sweetened, that doesn’t justify a $250 USD price tag.

It doesn’t taste that different than Kendall Jenner’s 818 or Michael Jordan’s Cincoro that are more affordable.

For far less money I can buy Don Julio 1942 which is the best Añejo Tequila.

I’d rather pay $500 for the flamethrower than $250 for an unimpressive Tequila.

Where to buy Tesla Tequila? Is it coming back?

Tesla is still selling tequila, buy it directly from the Tesla Shop and cut the middleman.

How much is the bottle of Tesla Tequila?

As I said before, Tesla comes with a lofty $250 price tag making it one of the most expensive of its class. If you are solely interested in the bottle as a piece of memorabilia take a look at Ebay.

What’s Tesla Tequila alcohol content?

Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) which is the average at which tequila is bottled.

Tesla Tequila aging

Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. The contact with the barrel is what provides an amber hue to the spirit along vanilla, butterscotch and oak notes.

Tesla’s New Tequila Glasses Are Designed to Ruin Your Tequila Drinking Experience

There’s a science to the design of good tequila-sipping glassware. These Tesla glasses ignore all of that.

A few years back, Tesla decided that as well as making electric cars, it should also make tequila. It was part of a wave through the liquor industry that saw The Rock, George Clooney, Kylie Jenner, Rita Ora, and a boatload of other famous faces start shipping their own brands of tequila . Now, for anyone who was daft enough to buy a spirit made by a car company, the automaker has a set of glasses that match the design of its tequila. And I hate them.

When it first launched, the Tesla Tequila was a 100-percent agave spirit that had been aged in oak barrels for at least a year. These are all good things to hear about a tequila; agave is the plant that’s used to make it, and having this as the sole ingredient means there are no cheaper grain or cane spirits mixed in to boost the alcohol content. (Side note, spirits made with these additional ingredients are called mixto tequilas.)

But I digress. The shocking thing about the Tesla Tequila wasn’t that it might actually be a half-decent drink — it was the price. Where a good, ethically made añejo tequila will probably set you back around $60, Tesla was charging $250, and its latest release topped $1,000

That’s a lot for a spirit. So that means you’re likely to want to savor the taste of your Tesla Tequila, rather than shoot it like you might have done in your college days. And that’s why, as Teslarati reports , the EV maker has now come up with a set of “sipping glasses” from which to enjoy your over-priced Tesla-branded tequila. Just one problem: they’re awful.

The glasses are designed to look like the lightning-bolt bottle Tesla sold its spirit in. So, they’re triangles with a rounded base. And first off, that means they won’t stand up by themselves.

So, for your $75 set of two glasses , you also get a dumb engraved stand that stops your drink from toppling over.

By itself, this would make these far too annoying for me. But then, as the spirits tasting pro in me comes clamoring to the surface once again, I have to point out that it’s just a bad shape for a sipping glass.

When you taste something like an aged tequila, a huge part of the flavor you uncover comes from the scent and aroma wafting off the top of the drink. It’s for this very reason that whisky tasters use tulip-shaped vessels and why wine glasses balloon out around the liquid. It gives the drink space to breathe and release all those lovely aromas.

Tequila is a wonderful, complex spirit that can have smoky scents similar to a good scotch, sweetness that you might find in rum, and vanilla or fruit flavors that come with good bourbon. If you drink your tequila from these, you’ll lose all that. Plus, you’ll never be able to put your drink down, unless you stay within arm’s reach of the metal stand, which means you’re more likely to just gulp down the whole glass in one shot. Which, again, defeats the point of having sourced fine ingredients and aged them properly to begin with.

These Tesla tequila glasses make about as much sense as chopping the top and bottom off your steering wheel because it looks sci-fi. Oh wait .
