George Clooney – Casamigos Tequila

Actor George Clooney co-founded Casamigos Tequila in 2013 with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman. The brand is now said to be the fastest-growing super-premium Tequila in the US.

Diageo snapped up Casamigos in August 2017 for an upfront fee of US$700 million, with a further US$300m on the table depending on the brand’s performance over the next decade.

In February 2018, Casamigos extended its range with the launch of a mezcal made from 100% espadin agave.
