特斯拉将这款龙舌兰酒描述为独家、小批量优质酒,100%采用龙舌兰酿造,在法国橡木桶中陈酿15个月,灌入手工吹制的玻璃瓶中,散发干果和淡淡香草味,还有恰到好处的肉桂胡椒味。其代工厂为一个名叫“Nosotros”的龙舌兰品牌——但是,Nosotros自己的陈年龙舌兰一瓶才卖50多美元。而装入特斯拉闪电形状的玻璃酒瓶后,这瓶容量为750毫升的龙舌兰酒,售价就提升了5倍,高达250美元(约合人民币1657元),比一瓶飞天茅台的官方价格还要高。
据了解,这款龙舌兰酒将在2020年末开始交付,目前仅在美国地区出售,购买者必须年满21岁,并且被限购两瓶。尽管限购,但特斯拉新龙舌兰酒的火爆程度超出了预期。上架后几小时,这款酒就销售一空。更疯狂的是,其空瓶竟然在二手交易网站eBay上卖出美元的天价。
无独有偶,北京时间11月19日,根据美媒lakersdaily报道,詹姆斯、浓眉哥和德雷蒙德·格林联手了,他们不是在球场联手,而是联合投资了一家名为Lobos 1707的龙舌兰酒公司。“我第一次品尝到Lobos 1707龙舌蘭覺得很特別。当我進一步了解品牌故事和領導團隊,我知道我想成為其中的一員。我喜歡與朋友一起喝龍竹蘭,我希望有一個我們可以交流的地方。”這位球星如是說。
这个令老外心心念念的大自然之珍到底是一个神秘东西?!! 龍竹蘭……好像鲁迅先生曾经提到过? 北京の白菜运往浙江,便用红头绳系住菜根,将倒挂于水果店头,以尊称之為「胶菜」;福建野生着の芦荟,一至北京即请进温室,而且美其名曰“龍竹蘭”。——《藤野先生》 所以说,這不就是芦荟汁做的嗎?其实事情也没那么简单。
把这种神秘饮品称为龍竹蘭酒,不仅因为听起来好听,也是为了避免误会。虽然龍竹蘭 酒所用的植物与芦荟同属一种类别,但并非同一种。这国内通常用于观赏及敷脸的是翠叶芦荟变种。一直以来,它都是国内最流行多肉植物之一。而龍竹蘭 酒所推崇的是以蓝色 龍竹 蕨(Blue Agave) 为代表 的墨西哥当地品种。
要说蓝色 龍竹 蕨特别之处,其中大——这个“墨西哥芦荟”,长到一人高都算常事。但更特别的地方,在于这些鳞茎铲掉叶根后依然重70~110公斤,是由专门选育而成,用来酿造此佳釀。此部份远看有点像凤梨,但它可比凤梨大多了。在收获时用的铲子都是开刃,因为实在挖不动。
Dragon's Breath, the mysterious drink that has captured the hearts of many. It is said to have been mentioned by Lu Xun in his writings, alongside other exotic ingredients such as "gelatinous melons" and "agave plants". But what exactly is this enigmatic liquor? And why does it command such a high price?
The answer lies in its production process. Dragon's Breath, also known as Tequila, is made from the blue agave plant native to Mexico. The agave plant takes years to mature before being harvested for its piña, or heart. This piña is then cooked and mashed into a pulp called must, which undergoes fermentation before being distilled twice.
The result is a spirit that is rich in flavor and aroma, with notes of vanilla and caramel balanced by a hint of smokiness. The aging process adds complexity to the spirit, with different levels of aging resulting in different flavors.
But what makes Dragon's Breath so special? Is it the unique taste or the exclusivity of its production process? Or perhaps it's something more intangible - an experience that transcends mere consumption?
Whatever it may be, one thing is certain: Dragon's Breath has captured not only our taste buds but also our imagination. Its allure extends beyond mere indulgence; it speaks to something deeper within us - a desire for connection with nature and culture.
So next time you raise your glass of Dragon's Breath (or whatever name you call this enchanted liquor), remember that there are stories behind every sip - stories of tradition and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
And who knows? Maybe one day you'll find yourself sipping on this magical elixir under starry skies or amidst lush greenery, feeling like part of an exclusive club where members share secrets over shared experiences.
For now though let us cherish each moment we spend enjoying this most extraordinary drink - after all life itself can sometimes feel like one big bottle opener waiting for us to crack open new adventures!
