If shooting tequila is your thing, this list isn't going to be your thing either. Same goes for lingerie. That's because the most luxurious tequilas and play pieces ask the same thing: slow down. Let them linger way longer than they should. Check out this list of unapologetically añejo-centric tequilas and the lingerie equally worth savoring.

Just the kinda of mindfuck we love in a snifter.. think toasted bourbon (already a yes) followed by a detour through a French bakery — vanilla, jam and all), then a spicy zing of cinnamon just when you think the party is over. Although any tequila on the compoveda spectrum earns sipping status, we’re currently relishing the extra añejo in the smallest sips humanly possible.
When sipping a complex tequila queen like this one, reach for an equally exquisite bodysuit, one featuring a 24k-gold-plated detachable choker, leg bands and harness for endless ways to savor.
We read "aged in whiskey barrels" and it was love at first label. But there's a reason Fortaleza consistently lives up to the hype and lands on the cult-fave lists of connoisseurs: It's rich, complex and leaves a long, lasting impression after every sip. Agave-forward with a balance of sweet and citrus then finished with lingering spiced oak.
Complicated spirits sometimes call for something a little breezier to balance out their strong personalities. We love a ready-to-play catsuit that in a snake lace that seems sweet but has a little bite.
We love the sultry dichotomy of this brilliantly complex, smooth AF tequila that consistently nails high ratings and should come with a warning: you’ll drain this baby fast if you don’t enjoy each sip. 100% blue weber agave is slow-cooked then aged in whiskey barrels which makes your mouth experience live up the hype. Thank you, sir, we'll have another.
When it comes to pairing Clase Azul with lingerie, we like to slow things down. That's why we reco a luscious lingerie set that keeps fingers lingering over silk, metal and lace with lots of skin exposure for those drops of spirit that "accidentally" get drizzled over you.
To call this 8-year-aged, triple-distilled, extra añejo a tequila is like calling a Ferrari a car. We've had exactly two ounces of this bottle and it's undeniably the smoothest, velvetiest sip to cross our lips. Technically we don't believe in saving things for special occasions but we can't be trusted with a sip this unapologetically easy-drinking.
Since you have to make this sip last, choose a lingerie set you linger in for hours, one that strokes the skin and offers more ways to play — you'll need something to do while you stretch 2 ounces of liquid heaven into 2 hours of experience.
You really can’t go wrong sipping or mixing any of the entry-level G4 tequilas (they’ve got a 160-year family history of making this stuff), which have distinctly different flavor profiles from peppery to fruity to floral at a very civilized price points. But if you wanna spring for an ultra-rich luxury experience, hit up their 5- and 6-year extra añejos, aged in Tennessee whiskey barrels and sold in limited-edition, numbered bottles.
If you're sipping a G4, who knows what mood you'll be in? Sweet? Fiery? Chill? All of the above? If you've got our deja vu 11 at the ready, you can be whatever you want. Remove the harness, leave the collar. Nix the harness and the collar. Remove the back straps and band them on your upper thighs. Work your way through all the ways to play while you enjoy your entire tequila flight.
This isn’t your mix-into-your-fav-marg recipe tequila. It’s aged in French oak barrels, sips like a cognac and both finishes you off and leaves you wanting more. Think vanilla, toffee, buttercream…. Obsessed, 10 out of 10, should come with a cigarette.
Because a tequila that sips like a cognac deserves a little smoke, we love our Champagne Room 33 Bodysuit, which features a hidden bra pocket (aka J pocket) for stashing your favorite cigar or joint. Plus its silk hip ties are removable so you can work that slow peel off while you sip.
There’s a reason Don Julio 1942 constantly lands on top 10 lists and in lyrics… it sips like a bitch. You’re enticed by its undeniably silky texture then hooked by its complexity. 100% blue agave barrel-aged in oak for more than 2.5 years gives this bombshell serious richness that’s worth the sip. (And if you’re on an expense account, try the Extra Añejo which is finished in Madeira wine-soaked casks.)
Something that screams "let me slip into something more delicious while we sip". For a tequila that sips like silk, we love a double-silk kimono with detachable sleeves that come off when you're the one pouring or stay on when you want your smooth AF shot to match your lingerie.
Just call it our healthy obsession (we’re sipping it, right?)... This baby has been aged for up to 5 years in three different types of barrels — sherry, cognac and scotch — making it the sexiest threesome of sipping tequilas you can buy. And like all the best lovers, it’s brilliant blend of sweet and spicy, elegant and in your face, and long on the palate with a strong finish.
In honor of the multiple spirit barrels involved with this sipping tequila, slip on an equally sweet-and-spicy 4-some: our Butterfly Waist Cincher that can also be worn as a neck collar, corset or bandeau top depending on the hour and you're sipping mood.
This is for the connoisseurs who know not to judge a tequila by its price. Sitting well under $100, this beauty is a little bit of a headrush for the palate. Think vibrant roasted pineapples, but also spiced cinnamon but also vanilla with a smoky mezcal finish. It's not boring.
For an equally fiery look, slide into smoke-embroidered Hotwired Corset Panty and Halter Bra. It's corset hooks and extra-long bra ties keep hands busy long enough for the tequila to finish on your palate.
So many sips, so little time. These rare bottles are still on our list... we can't vet them yet, but we've been told they're worth the hunt.
The Fortaleza core line is a no-brainer, but their coveted winter release is the one to watch. Deliciously complex and insanely limited quantities with a once-a-year drop, devoured in a blink.
Another super-limited release that's aged in a single wet cognac barrel from France. It's touted as a rich, complex and velvety one-of-a-kind experience.
