I thought the Taz is makeil and holds shishim is not needed anyhow.

yitay: I just spoke to a posek, he told me that it wouldn’t make a difference that it was tequila; since it was the manufacture’s intentions to put the worms inside for flavor, it is undoubtably noten taam leshvach. That which the SA and Rema point out, shichra and chometz, is in a stam case, where it would have fell inside, where they say that a stam case with no intention is assur anyways in these liquids. Aside for that I saw that that the Taz and Shach bring down the Mordechai and Maharshal that any liquids would be assur besides for honey, wine, and i forgot the third thing.

However, he brought up that the worm might also give flavor in more than 60, based on the fact that the worms are in the bottle with more than 60 against them, the company would have no reason to put worms inside if it didn’t affect the flavor. [Note: I have heard that (non-jewish) people like to eat the worms that are soaked in the tequila, so you can say that the company’s intentions was to soak the worms, not really to give flavor to the tequila. However in my particular case the worms were not able to be removed from the bottle without cracking the bottle open, so I would count that out in this scenario. I may be able to say that the worms are only there for design, but again I’m unsure.]

Also the bottle we had at the house was already drunk from, leaving what I believe was less than 60, which was kavush and undoubtably assur.
