says. It joins George Dickel No. 8, George Dickel No. 12, George Dickel Barrel Select and George
Dickel Rye. Distributed nationwide beginning this month, George Dickel No. 1 has a suggested price
of $21.99 for a 750 ml bottle.
Tequila el Jimador has launched a package with a new premium design, meant to match the
quality of the 100% agave tequila, the company says. The revamped bottle features an embossed illustration of the iconic Jimador, a figure representing the dedication to craftsmanship displayed by the
master agave harvesters. The body of the bottle has been slightly modified to make it sleeker. Some of
the other design changes include a bigger bottle size, smaller streamlined, colored metallic label
design to showcase more of the premium tequila,
and uniform caps, all aimed at creating a better
