In recent years, the list of celebrities who have ventured into the world of alcoholic beverages is endless. But if there are some distillates that take the cake, it is those originating in Mexico, specifically tequila and mezcal. Since in 2013 George Clooney launched his successful Casamigos tequila -which Diageo bought in 2017 for 1 billion dollars-, there have been many celebrities who have launched their own brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that it is one of the most consumed alcohols on the planet, influences when it comes to investing in the business. But also the exclusivity of its production gives them a sophisticated and artisanal touch. Both beverages are made from agave and can only be produced in Mexico, where more than half of these plants are found. While tequila is only made from blue agave, mezcal can be produced from any agave. In terms of specific regions, mezcal is made in Oaxaca, and the Mexican states that have the tequila appellation of origin are Jalisco, Guanajato, Michoac\u00e1n and Tamaulipas. We review some of the celebrities who have their own tequila and mezcal brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legendary basketball player is co-owner of Cincoro<\/a> tequila, along with other people linked to the NBA. The idea of founding a tequila brand came about in 2016 during a dinner at which Jordan – then owner of the Hornets – got together with the owners of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics, among others. Since then, Cincoro has become one of the most successful tequilas in the United States, where it has sold more than 1.5 million bottles and won numerous awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced in Jalisco, the NBA moguls have launched several different tequilas on the market, whose bottles emulate an agave leaf sculpture. The cheapest bottle is Tequila Blanco, which costs about 77 euros, while the most expensive is Cincoro Founder’s Series Extra A\u00f1ejo, which costs around 4,700 euros. And, according to the brand itself, the tequila is designed to be drunk neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
