Tequila With Friends includes Blanco and Reposado Tequilas with a retail footprint in Texas, California, and the D.C. area. Ego Tequila’s Blanco and Reposado offerings launched in 2021 and are now distributed in Texas with 50 off-premise locations and on ReserveBar. And Den of Thieves includes Straight Bourbon, 8-Year Barrel Select Bourbon, Ginger Vanilla Flavored Bourbon, and Chocolate Flavored Bourbon distributed across six U.S. markets.
