number 5 is blacked out with a pen] years in extremely limited quantities."
Other Info: The date stamp on this bottle reads 12/11/08.
The front of the bottle states "this tequila represents a meld of two great talents, the
art of the tequila maker and the experience of the cognac blender. Paradisio is a
traditional tequila created in the style of the great cognac."
"The Phoenician does many private labels with all types of premium spirits, as they try
to create that "once in a lifetime" type of experience at their resort with luxury spirits."

Here is some additional information about this bottle:
"I don’t know about you, but any time I frequent a bar or restaurant, tequila is a word
that’s never uttered from my lips. Maybe it was my inexperience of truly knowing good
tequila or that fact I really didn’t know how to drink it. Well, that was until now. At a
recent luncheon at Arizona’s premiere AAA Five Diamond resort, The Phoenician, I had
the great honor of meeting La Alteña’s third generation master distiller, Carlos
Camarena—a legend to many in the tequila industry.
After graduating college with a degree in agricultural engineering, Carlos returned
home to Jalisco, Mexico to work in his grandfather’s distillery. In 1995, Carlos was
promoted to third generation master distiller of El Tesoro de Don Felipe, continuing on
with his family’s 200-year legacy. Although La Alteña Distillery is a small family-owned
and -operated company in the mountains of Mexico, its international success can be
seen through its many accolades. Today, the distillery proudly produces four premium
brands of tequila, all with a distinctive taste: El Tesoro Platinum (bottled within 24
hours of distillation); El Tesoro Reposado (aged eight to 11 months); El Tesoro Anejo
(aged two to three years in oak barrels) and their El Tesoro 70th Anniversary limited–
edition tequila (aged seven years in white-oak bourbon barrels). The latter tequila was
opened July 7, 2007 to celebrate 70 years of Don Felipe Camarena and El Tesoro’s
success.
Now, standing in front of a crowd on the patio of Il Terrazzo restaurant at The
Phoenician, Carlos has a smile from ear to ear. And why not? He is proudly showing off
the fifth generation El Tesoro tequila, Paradiso. This 100 percent blue agave,
handcrafted tequila is aged eight years in cognac-barrels and is the only El Tesoro
private label in the world. To preserve the bottles’ authenticity each is also hand-
numbered. Its smooth surface and crisp finish is best sipped slow and pairs perfectly
with rich chocolates. Proudly produced in partnership with the resort, this limited-
edition Phoenician private label El Tesoro Paradiso sells for $125. Guests of the resort
may sample its superior taste at any Phoenician restaurant from mid-morning to
midnight." -Arizona Foothills Magazine
