A private collector has forked out US$225,000 for a bottle of Tequila, making it the most expensive in the world - but not for long, reports www.foodnavigator-usa.com.

It is a fair way from the sort of Tequila downed by people in bars all over the world with the traditional salt and lemon slice. But Tequila Ley.925, the producer of the US$225,000 liquor, says it wants to open a new avenue for expensive, high quality Tequila targeted at connoisseurs and society's elites.

Its US$225,000 bottle of Pasion Azteca Tequila is a measure of how much some will pay.

And the company, which is 10 years old and makes only limited edition, 100% Mexican Tequila, is already planning to top its US$225,000 sale.

The US$38,000 asking price for the world's most expensive whisky, as reported by Forbes , looks like a veritable bargain in comparison.
