Mezcal isn't just delicious for us "mere mortals". Many celebrities have also gotten a taste for it and have even created one themselves. They are mainly well-known personalities from the USA, but you can now also buy their products in Germany. We'll tell you which stars and starlets have developed their own mezcal and which ones you should definitely try .
The celebrities' trendy drinks
- Dwayne Johnson's Tequila Teremana has been on the market since the end of 2019 and its success continues unbroken. For the Teremana, Johnson works with a Mexican family distillery and, since 2020, with Jägermeister as the exclusive worldwide distribution partner . Since the company only employs 50 people and Teremana Tequila is made exclusively from regional ingredients, the drink has a proud price: the different types of tequila cost an average of 104 euros on Amazon. The star himself worked on the recipe, which is primarily characterized by lemon and vanilla.
- You definitely know heartthrob George Clooney. But did you know that the actor not only promotes coffee, but has also launched his own mezcal and tequila? Back in 2013, Clooney and two friends founded their own brand, which developed so quickly that Casamigos Spirits sold to Diageo in 2017 for an incredible $700 million. Casamigos is now considered one of the fastest growing tequila brands in the world. The "Tequila Casamigos" is characterized by its rounded taste and balanced aromas.
- Are you looking for a very mild tequila? Then take a look at Justin Timberlake's Tequila 901. This is produced by Don Cenobio Sauza, the founder of Mexico's most traditional tequila distillery. Timberlake, who describes himself as a tequila specialist and lover, is personally involved in the production.
- Sports legend Michael Jordan, in turn, created a tequila called Cincoro. Michael Jordan's tequila is also rather gentle and mild. Another highlight is the 44 centimeter high bottle, which is an eye-catcher in every home bar.
- The same applies to the bottle design of Tequila Casa Noble, the drink specially created by Carlos Santana. Santana himself comes from the Mexican province of Jalisco, where the tequila is produced. Casa Noble is a company that produces an exceptional and very exclusive teqila.
- There was already a real hype about the “Dos Hombres Mezcal”. The Dos Ombres was created by the two actors Jesse Pinkman and Walter White, known from the series “Breaking Bad”. In addition to the typical taste of agave, the tequila is characterized by fine notes of apples, mango, wood and smoke.
- Kendall Jenner's "818 Tequila" was named after the zip code of her home in the San Fernando Valley. Kendall Jenner isn't the only one who proves that women also have a knack for marketing spirits. Singer Rita Ora also released her own tequila, called Próspero.
- The cult band Rammstein has also brought its own tequila onto the market. The Rammstein Tequila Reposado, made from 100 percent agave, matures in French oak barrels. The design of the bottle is also worth mentioning here: it has a handmade leather cover and immediately attracts everyone's attention. This is also ensured by the heavy cast iron closure, which is decorated with the typical Rammstein logo.
