How much does Tesla's new mezcal cost?

Elon Musk and Tesla are known for innovation in the electric car industry, but their latest product diverges sharply from their automotive roots.

Tesla has introduced a potent Mexican liquor called Mezcal, priced at $450 per bottle. This move is surprising, considering it has nothing to do with electric cars, Tesla’s primary business. Tesla's history of quirky product releases includes a cyber whistle, a USB for data storage, a cat box, and even perfume.

This latest addition of Mezcal follows the same trend of unexpected offerings from the company. Amidst executive challenges, including issues with stock distribution and a massive productivity bonus for Musk, Tesla has unveiled its Mezcal in a uniquely designed bottle.

According to a review from La Tercera, Tesla’s Mezcal boasts an alcohol content of 43 percent. The company states that the liquor is crafted through a distillation process that blends the flavors of native Espadin and Bicuishe agaves.

The taste is described as “delicate and spicy, with a deep citrus and green apple aroma that transitions to soft herbal notes and a lasting smoky finish, with hints of tuberose, jasmine, and chamomile, culminating in a balanced, velvety mouthfeel.”

This exquisite description suggests that the Mezcal is a true delight for the senses. The bottle itself is a collectible item, perfect for those who appreciate unique and curious objects. Infobae notes that the bottle is handcrafted from blown glass with a matte black finish, inspired by the ancient pottery tradition of Oaxaca’s Barro Negro.

Tesla’s Mezcal is a testament to the company’s ability to surprise and captivate its audience with products far removed from its usual offerings. While it may not solve any problems, it certainly adds a luxurious and unexpected option to Tesla's diverse product lineup.
