These whimsical bottles always turn a few heads. This product used to be called Gusano Real but the name was later changed to "Casta - Worm Bottle." When I first saw these I thought they were a major tequila blunder propagated by one of the most common myths and misnomers about tequila. The fact that you're reading this page means you probably know there are no worms in tequila at all ( worms are put in some brands of Mezcal ) and thank goodness there is no worm in this particularly good reposado. However, Gusanos ( worms ) commonly live inside agave plants, and this being a 100% Agave Tequila, distilled & bottled in Mexico, is, I'm sure where the image comes from. Plus a cool looking bottle doesn't hurt if you're marketing Tequila.

NOTE: 11/15/2003 - The current Worm Bottles are now sold under the name of "Casta Pasion". In fact it looks like all of the current Casta products are being labeled slightly different and using the additional "Pasion" name. I don't have any other details. - Buying links for the "Pasion" version are provided on the next page.
