Thomas Rhett and his cousin, pecan magnate Jeff Worn, are launching a new ultra-premium Tequila brand: Dos Primos. Spanish for “Two Cousins,” Dos Primos is a blanco Tequila made from hand-harvested 100% blue agave sourced from estates in Los Altos and the valley area of Jalisco, Mexico. The finished product is crystal-clear with earthy herbal notes on the front palate, followed by smooth floral and citrus hints.
“Our decision to create a new tequila brand grew out of just loving being with family,” said Rhett. “Jeff and I wanted to create a tequila that was expertly crafted and could be enjoyed year-round – regardless of the season or activity – with the people we care about most. Dos Primos is all about who we are and what’s important to us.”
Dos Primos is distilled at Destiladora González Lux, located just outside the city of Arandas, Mexico, in the highlands of Jalisco. Third-generation Master Distiller Rodolfo González, who worked with Thomas Rhett and Worn to create the product’s taste profile, oversees the distillation process to ensure every drop of Dos Primos Tequila exceeds standards and expectations.
“From field to bottle, my family’s lifelong passion for crafting superior tequila shines through in Dos Primos,” said González. “By blending agave from the highlands and the lowlands, we created a smooth tequila that can be sipped or enjoyed in a cocktail. Dos Primos will be well-received by tequila aficionados and novices alike.”
Each clear embossed-glass bottle of Dos Primos features a natural wood cork and genuine black-leather cord wrapped around the neck. The fabric label is hand-applied in Mexico and bears the signatures of Worn and Thomas Rhett.
“There’s no greater thrill or commitment than putting your name on something you believe in,” said Worn. “Our names are more than just our reputation – they represent our legacy and our future. That’s not something Thomas Rhett and I take lightly. We are proud of this product, and we’re excited to introduce Dos Primos.”
Thomas Rhett shares Worn’s commitment and enthusiasm and looks forward to the introduction of Dos Primos Tequila to the market.
“My wife and I love to enjoy tequila together, and I’m excited for people to share a bottle with friends, sip it around a bonfire or enjoy it on a fishing trip or a tailgate or concert,” said Rhett. “Dos Primos is about unwinding and enjoying the people and things that really matter in life.”
Dos Primos is set to hit shelves in select markets across the United States beginning this month (January 2021). To find a retailer near you, visit the Dos Primos official website.
