When superstar Matthew McConaughey debuted his Pantalones Organic Tequila last year, it was quickly snapped up by both fans and tequila enthusiasts keen to try it. Now, the brand will be expanding across the U.S. thanks to a distribution deal with Southern Glazer’s.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring Pantalones Organic Tequila to tequila drinkers across the country via Southern Glazer’s,” said Andrew T. Chrisomalis, co-founder and Chairman of Pantalones. “We’ve received such positive traction and consumer feedback in the short amount of time since launching late last year. This amazing momentum, alongside our partnership with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, means the sky’s the limit for Pantalones.”

While celebrity backed tequilas can be a mixed bag, Pantalones has succeeded in standing out from the crowd by winning a slew of awards and partnering with environmental organizations dedicated to protecting the planet. The brand has three expressions: a blanco, reposado, and an añejo, and all three are reasonably priced at between $45 and $55 per bottle.

McConaughey co-founded the brand along with his wife, Camilla, with the aim to enjoy good tequila while also having fun. “We launched Pantalones to remind everyone that tequila should be high quality juice, and fun,” said the couple.

“We’re grateful that that message has been well-swallowed on both accounts by both tequila drinkers and the industry. Throughout the last year, we’ve seen Pantalones enjoyed in our local markets via fancy pants cocktails, pickle margaritas, shooters, on the rocks, and straight up—you name it, Pantalones performs. And now, we are bringing Pantalones across the country so everyone can get their Pantalones on…and off.”

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.

A more authentic imbibing experience that explores origin stories
Glass, Alcohol, Beer

These days, it's not enough to pour a product. What splashes in the glass needs a good story, preferably one involving genuine sustainability efforts or a cool new hop variety. Moreover, that liquid becomes all the more intriguing when it reflects its origin, whether that's a coastal gin made with local botanicals and seaweed or a seasonal Georgian beer brewed with ripe peaches.

Wine may have capitalized on the concept of terroir but it certainly didn't invent it. There's an element of place in all of agriculture, meaning there are distinctive flavors tied to Nevada-grown whiskey grains and Washington state hops, destined to be showcased in an India Pale Ale.

Rotisserie chicken is back and better than ever
Slow-turned birds are back, baby
Rotisserie chicken at ROSTO.

What goes around comes around, again and again. Certainly the culinary world knows as much, just consider the slow food movement or even a good Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe, back in its best forms since, well, the 90s. The latest thing to reemerge is slow-cooked chicken on a spit.

Yes, rotisserie is back and arguably better than ever. Like most things, the epicenter of the movement is taking place in New York City, but it's spread to other food-friendly towns, from Portland to Providence. Maybe we never wanted to let the style go. Maybe we're reliant on a relatively cheap protein in this wobbly economy. Regardless, there's no denying the deeply comforting sensation that is chowing down on some.
