It is also the first tequilla that BACCARAT has made a caraffe for. This is number 0042/1000, and hand-blown decanter. Only 1000 bottles produced. It is new, sealed, and retail is $2499.00 which I paid for. Comes in ebonized wooden box, crystal stopper, 2 .925 silver keys with necklace, a pouch the wooden box comes in, all wrapping is included, original, and the outer cardboard box, which is a bit scraped up. I am starting it at $1899.00,  $600.00 below retail, as the screws in the hinges of the box are somewhat loose!!!!   !!!!!!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!! and A FRIENDLY REMINDER!  Just want to give an accurate description as possible, when putting it away, I wrapped the bottle in the dos lunas foam paper as seen in the pics once for added preservation when I shouldn't have, and the screws loosened up(pulled out of the wood without unscrewing them!?). The screws in the hinges of the wooden box are loose, (and may be stripped???), and i beleive just the top and bottom shorter hinges mainly.  The box is intact and together. Just do not hold the case by the handle immediately, as we would not want the bottle falling out once purchased and the sale is final. It should be an easy fix for a woodworker, or even if you are handy and a do-it-yourselfer. The ebonized box is together and intact, but the screws are loose in the hinges. I am just giving an accurate as possible description, so the responsibility will be on the buyer if anything were to happen to the bottle. Just don't hold the box by the handle until you inspect or fix the box, would be my recommendation, act as if it didn't have a handle until you can or want to repair it, to ensure the bottle doesn't accidentally fall out and break!  The worth of this gem of an item is the 20 year process it took produce this tequila, to grow the agave(which mature in 8-10 years), and the aging in the casks for 10 years!!! and of course the BACCARAT decanter, which is the first ever produced by the exclusive manufacturer to hold tequila!!! This is Carafe number 0042, and only 1000 were produced, and has the number and Baccarat logo etched on the bottom of the bottle! All Sales Final!! From tequila.net: November 5, 2007 (El Paso, TX) – Dos Lunas Tequila today announced the launch of Dos Lunas Grand Reserve, an Extra Añejo that breaks new ground in the luxury tequila category.  Dos Lunas Grand Reserve is not only the world’s first commercially available tequila to be aged over 10 years (in sherry oak casks), it is also the only tequila to be bottled in hand-blown, individually numbered Baccarat decanters.  Each decanter is housed in an equally luxurious ebonized wood box with an accompanying crystal stopper and sterling silver key and necklace.  Dos Lunas Grand Reserve has a retail price of $2,500. Like all Dos Lunas tequilas, Grand Reserve is harvested from 100% fully mature blue agave plants.  Because the plants only reach maturity after 8 to 10 years, the entire production process for Dos Lunas Grand Reserve is nearly 20 years.  Says Dos Lunas founder Richard C. Poe II, “In many ways Grand Reserve is closer to the finest single malts and cognacs than to other tequilas.  We set out to create the world’s best tequila and that goal informed every decision that was made, from growth through production to packaging.”  The result is an Extra Añejo of remarkable complexity, unparalleled smoothness and luxurious presentation – a tequila that sets a new standard for the category.   For more info about the product go to www.doslunas.com or research online.   I WILL SHIP ITEM FedEx with signature required!!!!US only!!!   This listing complies with ebay rules on the sale of alcohol.    As per ebay rules:   The value of the auctioned item is in the collectible container, not its contents.
