The production manager of Tequila Patron, Antonio Rodriguez , announced that the limited production of bottles with packaging designed by the filmmaker Guillermo del Toro had sold out.
"A little over 10 thousand bottles were produced and distributed worldwide. Now they have sold out and we are shipping the last bottles," he said in an interview.
