Like many of the other tequila brands, Tezón's bottles are a work of art. Adhered to each bottle are two metal plates engraved with symbols for the elements that are essential to the quality of the tequila: Agave, Fire, Tahona and Spirit. Each plate is affixed by hand before the bottle is filled and once the spirit is inside the bottle, it is corked with a stopper crowned with a volcanic stone-like material, reminiscent of the tahona wheel. The symbolism is deep and just another sign of the heart and soul every one of these tequileros puts into their tequilas.
Each bottle of Tezón has two engraved plates on the sides that are pressed in place with a specially design cage-like press.
