Ring in the New Year with Celebrity-Owned Alcohol Brands

We’ve rounded up the best of the best alcohol to start the new year with.

DOS HOMBRES MEZCAL

Breaking Bad co-stars Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston teamed up with third-generation Mezcal master Gregorio Velasco to create the award-winning Dos Hombres Tobala and Espadin Mezcal. Both start with agave hand selected from hillside villages in Oaxaca. The Espadin has notes of apple, mango and local fruits and a smooth smokey taste. The Tobala gets its unique scent and taste from using agave perfumed by the Copal trees where the agave grows. Because Tobala can’t be harvested until it is 25 years old, this blend of Mezcal is rare and exclusive.

VILLA ONE TEQUILA

Singer Nick Jonas and fashion designer John Varvatos collaborated with master distiller, Arturo Fuentes, to craft premium Villa One Tequila. What sets the spirit apart is that it’s blended from agave sourced from both the highland and lowland regions of Jalisco and handcrafted. The result is a balanced, smooth tequila available in Silver, Reposado and Anejo that will have the host singing your praises after the first sip.

MULHOLLAND DISTILLERY

Actor Walton Goggins and cinematographer Matthew Alper claim to bottle the spirit of Los Angeles into their award-winning Mulholland Distillery gin, vodka and American whiskey. The spirits are a perfect base for craft cocktails like a classic whiskey sour, negroni or Moscow Mule.
