Matthew McConaughey Announces New Tequila Line

Last year, McConaughey and his wife announced the release of a new tequila brand called Pantalones.

“We’re precious about our tequila, not our pants,” he and his wife, Camila said in a statement, per People Magazine. “With the explosion in popularity of tequila, there’s a level of snootiness that’s crept into the category. People now talk about tequila the way they talk about wine. While we’re all for being passionate about tequila, we wanted to remind people that, above all, it’s meant to be fun."

“That’s where the name Pantalones came from and that’s why you won’t see us wearing any," they added.

More On Pantalones Organic Tequila

Pantalones Organic Tequila is an award-winning line of super premium organic tequila, designed to celebrate fun, positivity, and a lighthearted approach to life.

The process of finding just the right elements for their perfect libation was certainly a lengthy one, but that never stopped them from achieving their goals. “We'd been saving all the samples that we had of every iteration of the tequila. And we had forty-seven. At one point we laid them all out and we had forty-seven of them,” Camila told Country Living.

“We would try it separately from each other and then together, and we wouldn’t say anything,” Camila added and Matthew jumped in to complete the retelling of this memory. “Blind taste tests, switch ‘em around. As we got closer, like [samples] thirty to forty-six, we had some, we were like, that’s getting close, but the 47th was when we went, bam,” he said with a snap of his fingers. “That’s the one.”
