The Collector’s Choice: Securing Nobu x KAWS by QUI Limited Edition The Blue Bottle Edition
From Mexico, this ultra-rare tequila release—Nobu x KAWS by QUI Limited Edition The Blue Bottle Edition—was created to celebrate the Nobu 30 Year Anniversary. If you’re searching for a limited edition tequila that blends fine spirits with modern art culture, this bottle is built for the top shelf and the display case.
This special edition features a 25-year-old tequila, distilled in 1999, aged in oak barrels, then rested in stainless-steel tanks. That long, careful aging creates a spirit that’s smooth, layered, and slow to open up—exactly what collectors and serious tequila fans look for in a rare pour.
Design & Presentation

Limited to 1,650 units worldwide, this edition showcases KAWS’s signature visual artistry, turning it into a true collector’s item that fuses art, culture, and gastronomy.
