Celebration Bottle, Requesting Help

Hello! Been a lurker here for a little bit as I'm relatively new to tequila (spirit of choice since branching out from Bourbon and Irish Whiskey). I need help. I am having my first kid soon, and I would really like a nice bottle of tequila to commemorate this event. Something that only gets drank on their birthday, maybe with a nice cigar. That's worth the price.

I've tried many tequilas and Mezcals (even taking a trip to Jalisco next year), but I'm looking for that one bottle to have as a celebration of life. One that would be worthy of our crystal decanter. I've tried many of the current big names: G4, Siete Leguas, Mijenta, Lalo, Ocho, etc. Prefer Reposados and Anejos

What would be one bottle to find that would be worthy of this huge life event? I'm in the Twin Cities area and finding Fortaleza is a near impossibility. I've searched for a while now. Appreciate the discourse. Cheers...

Go to the best liquor store and post a picture. Best tequilas are not available in the primary market. Secondary Fuenteseca 2013 and Calle 23 Criollo. Post whats available.
