Azunia Platinum Blanco Tequila was introduced in 2010. It has since been replaced by Azunia Blanco Tequila, a tequila now created with organic agave.

Review: Rock N Roll Platinum Tequila
Rock N Roll Platinum Tequila is one of three tequila expression just released. The others include Mango, and Cristalino Anejo. The brand is supported with a powerhouse team of industry professionals, and also includes Hall of Fame, and former Miami Dolphins Quarterback Dan Marino as a partner. Their Platinum tequila comes bottled in a Gibson Flying V shaped guitar and like all of their tequila it comes topped with a bottle topper which is its own mini bottle of Rock N Roll Platinum Tequila. This patented 50ml bottle top, known as a roadie, provides an extra two shots of platinum tequila. The Flying V guitar has been played by a who’s who list of rock and roll guitarists including members from three of my favorite bands. James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Michael Schenker of UFO, and KK Downing from Judas Priest. Rock N Roll Platinum Tequila is hand crafted and triple distilled by Master Distiller Jose Aceves, at the same distillery that produces the Hotel California and Comisario lines of tequila. Read more
