Are you curious about what your favorite celebrities are drinking?
There's no need to wonder any longer, because we've rounded up a collection of the smoothest and boldest celebrity-backed tequilas that stand out not just for their famous names but also for their exceptional quality.
The Celeb Distilleries of Choice
Most celebrity tequilas are crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, and for good reason.
Jalisco is the birthplace of tequila and holds the Appellation of Origin designation, which means true tequila can only be made there and in a few surrounding regions.
Jalisco's unique combination of volcanic soil, high altitude, and favorable climate makes it the ideal environment for agave farmers to grow the iconic blue Weber agave, the key ingredient in premium tequila brands.
Must-Try Celebrity Tequilas
Casamigos (George Clooney & Rande Gerber)
Originally created by Clooney as his own tequila brand to be enjoyed with friends, Casamigos Tequila is known for its ultra-smooth finish, which results from the slow 72-hour fermentation process and extra-long roasting of the agave. You can look forward to vanilla notes, creamy caramel, and hints of oak.
Teremana (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson)
Teremana Tequila is distilled in small batches using traditional copper pot stills and brick ovens - a nod to old-school tequila-making. This ultra-premium tequila includes bright citrus, vanilla, and toasted oak, especially in the Reposado. Teremana Blanco is particularly special on the flavor spectrum as it hits key lime pie territory.
Código 1530 (George Strait)
This tequila was a well-kept secret recipe within a Mexican family for years before country legend George Strait helped bring it to market. Código 1530 is a Blanco tequila that uses no added sugar or flavors. Sippers can enjoy floral and earthy flavors with a citrus zest.
818 Tequila
Even though it's fairly new to the tequila industry, 818 has become a fan favorite among tequila drinkers. The sweet agave, vanilla, and toasted oak flavors, as well as the buttery texture, are all thanks to the brick oven cooking methods, which are a key part of Mexican heritage.
Pantalones Organic Tequila (Matthew & Camila McConaughey)
Clean and crisp, Pantalones Organic Tequila is made with sweet agave, herbal notes, and a whisper of citrus. It's also certified USDA Organic and made with zero additives. As for the brand name, Pantalones is a cheeky nod to not taking life (or tequila) too seriously.
Flecha Azul (Mark Wahlberg)
Mark Wahlberg joined the Flecha Azul tequila brand to support authentic, family-owned tequila making. This aged tequila is carefully crafted at a fifth-generation distillery in Jalisco and is certified additive-free. Flavors include earthy agave, citrus peel, and light oak - think of it like an oak-smoked lemonade.
Cincoro Tequila (Michael Jordan & NBA Partners)
Cincoro blends Highland and Lowland agave for a nuanced, velvety taste. Rich butterscotch, chocolate, and dried fruit is what sippers can expect. Aged to perfection, this high-end tequila stands out with its sophisticated taste and a bottle tilted at a 23-degree angle, a nod to Michael Jordan’s iconic jersey number.
