Cheers! Country Music Stars Dabble in Alcohol

Two-stepping to a country song at a local bar while having a beer with your buddies is the feel-good attitude country music brings. Alcohol, whether it be beer, tequila or whisky, is mentioned quite often in country music.

It comes as no surprise that there are many different country music artists that have their own label of alcohol.

Here are just a few of the ever-growing list of artists and their alcohol.

Wild Shot Mezcal

It's fitting to talk about the late Toby Keith's mezcal line first. Hitting the shelves back in 2011 this mezcal had the slogan of "Blame it on the worm" which was in reference to the maguey worm in the bottom of every bottle. Keith has one of the very first celebrity endorsed mezcal. Sadly it is extremely hard to find today.

Red 55 Wine

In 2006, the Red 55 Winery was launched by Miranda Lambert and her family. With all the various flavors and types of wines named after Lambert's famous songs like "Kerosene Pinot Grigo" and "White Liar Chardonnay". The inspiration behind the name of Red 55 came from Lambert's first pickup truck, a candy apple red 1955 step-side. This Texas based winery sells in various locations but has a tasting room at the Pink Pistol in Lindale, Texas.

Blue Chair Bay Rum

Artist Kenny Chesney has numerous songs that give off the beach and summertime costal vibe so it's no surprise that rum was his choice of alcohol to create. Blue Chair Bay rum has many exciting flavors from Coconut and Pineapple to Banana and many more. It's authentically crafted in the Caribbean featuring real sugarcane and molasses. This rum will have you hankering for an island vacation.

Condigo 1530

You don't get much more cowboy and country music than George Strait and he is the co-founder of the tequila branded Condigo 1530. Made authentically in Mexico and wearing the Jerusalem Cross that is featured in the Jalisco Coat of Arms, Strait ensured his brand to stand out. One of the many things that makes this tequila unique is the type of barrel used to age.  Most are aged in whiskey or bourbon barrels, while Condigo is aged in French Oak white whine barrels. Straight even wrote a song "Condigo" and music video that talks about this lovely Mexican tequila.

Certainly, these four are not the only artists that have their own line of alcohol. Make sure to check them all out and explore the uniqueness of each.
