How to Spot a Fake Bottle of Azul
If you live in Lagos, you are no stranger to Azul!
Azul tequila is one of the most popular tequila brands in Nigeria. It is made from the blue agave plant, which is grown in the Jalisco region of Mexico.
Azul tequila is known for its smooth and distinct taste and dare I say, its accompayning theme song "Dorime" 😂
A favorite among lagosians, the brand offers a range of tequilas, including Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo. With its popularity, Azul tequila has become a target for counterfeiters.
How to Spot a Fake Bottle of Azul
1. Check the Label
One of the easiest ways to spot a fake bottle of Azul tequila is by checking the label. The label should have the Azul tequila logo and the name of the tequila. The label should also indicate the type of tequila, such as Blanco, Reposado, or Anejo.
Check the label for any spelling mistakes, blurry text, or uneven lettering. If you notice any of these, then it could be a sign that the bottle is a fake.
2. Check the Seal
Another way to spot a fake bottle of Azul tequila is by checking the seal. Azul tequila bottles should have a tamper-proof seal that covers the cork or cap.
The seal should have the Azul tequila logo and the name of the tequila. Check the seal for any signs of tampering, such as a broken seal or a seal that is not firmly attached. If you notice any of these signs, then it could be a sign that the bottle is a fake.
3. Check the Bottle
The bottle itself can also provide clues as to whether it is a fake or not. Azul tequila bottles are made of high-quality glass and have a distinctive shape. The bottle should have a smooth finish and no air bubbles or imperfections. Check the bottle for any signs of damage or rough edges, as this could be a sign that it is a fake.
4. Check the Price
Counterfeiters often sell their products at a lower price than the genuine product. If you see an Azul tequila bottle being sold at a price that seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Always be wary of prices that are significantly lower than the market price.
5. Check the Source
Always buy Azul tequila from a reputable source. This could be a trusted liquor store or an online retailer that specializes in selling tequila. Avoid buying Azul tequila from street vendors or individuals who are selling it out of the back of their truck!
