Solento Tequila is transitioning from spirits to symphonies with its latest limited-edition extra añejo.

Aged for 40 months in American oak barrels, the brand is releasing just 480 bottles accompanied by two bespoke rocking glasses and a specially tailored vinyl record.

Intended as a modern twist on the Mozart effect — wherein gentle tunes are said to expand your IQ, and potentially, your palate — the playlist was designed to emphasize a “more intentional and visceral approach to experiencing music” according to founder Taylor Steele in an interview with Forbes.

“Music conjures up a lot of emotion and bringing that element into sipping tequila is a special intersection of the senses,” continued Steele. “Some albums music listeners will remember, and some are underground finds that we are excited to include […] The fun of it is the discovery of what is on your album.”

Though the exact contents of the record are yet unknown, the brand has revealed that it spans genres like jazz, blues, country and more.

As for the tequila itself, the Extra Añejo is said to balance aromas of butterscotch and fresh pepper alongside tastes of cinnamon, warm caramel and tobacco. If you’re looking to tune in, the complete package will cost you a glitzy $299.
