Pantalones, the tequila brand co-founded by US actor Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila, has landed in New Zealand.
The three-strong portfolio will be distributed by Blanc Beverages, following its rollout to Australia earlier this year. The launch of the blanco, the reposado and the añejo begins at off-premise multiple Moore Wilson’s.
Global Drinks Intel has asked for the SRP of Pantalones products in New Zealand.
Founded in 2023, Pantalones is now available in two markets outside of the US. Last year, the namesake brand owner agreed a US distribution arrangement with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch Pantalones in New Zealand,” said co-founder & chair, Andrew Chrisomalis. “The country’s vibrant hospitality scene, from Wellington’s creative cocktail culture to Auckland’s world-class bars, makes it a natural home for Pantalones.”
Matthew McConaughey has had a presence in spirits since 2016, when he assumed the role of creative director for Campari Group’s Wild Turkey bourbon.
