CURRENT SINGLE: “Half of Me” featuring Riley Green
If you had told Thomas Rhett when he was in his early 20s that he would one day have his own line of premium tequila, he probably would have said, there is no way. Like a lot of people, Thomas had his fair share of bad tequila experiences when he was younger, but he says once he learned to appreciate good tequila, that’s ultimately what led him to want to create his Dos Primos tequila line with his cousin Jeff.
Thomas Rhett –bad tequila experience :39
“My wife, you know when we started dating at 21 and got married at 22, my wife has always been a tequila lover. And I remember I had my very first sip of tequila when I was 22 years old. And I won’t say any brands, but it was just a rough experience. And I think a lot of people have those memories of college or, you know, early adulthood where you’re like, I will never touch tequila again because of XYZ. And I think once I started gettin’ into the craft of tequila and the process of it and the history of it, and how much time goes into making it, I just got really inspired to learn more about the product itself. And when I started tasting tequilas that were considered sipping tequilas, I was like, ‘Dang, this is not what I tasted when I was 21 years old.’ And I think it’s just all about kinda gettin’ that bad memory out of your head.”
Thomas Rhett’s Dos Primos is currently available as a blanco tequila or a reposado. You can find where to buy it at dosprimostequila.com.
