VIDEO : Guillermo del Toro Releases New Tequila Brand

Horror legend Guillermo del Toro has teamed up with tequila giant Patrón for an extra añejo tequila for the ages. Del Toro who hails from Jalisco, Mexico ? the home of tequila ? wanted his brand of tequila to be more than just a bottle with his name on it. He spent time in Jalisco with the distillers until they arrived at the perfect tequila and then he started on the design of the bottle, packaging, and story. ?Tequila courses through the veins of my native land, Jalisco,? the auteur said. ?It represents a communion between spirit and earth, steeped in time and tradition, and a source of pride that roots us and defines us both.? The end result is a haunting bottle that evokes the dark and tormented world del Toro captures in his films.
