“I am looking forward to the Nightclub and Bar Show,” said Keith. “We are going to have fun, drink some Wild Shot Mezcal and proceed to party.”
Keith’s albums have sold more than 35 million copies, ranking him among the top-selling all-genre artists on Billboard's Top 200 Artists of the Decade. He is also Billboard's No. 1 Artist of the Decade and No. 1 Country Songwriter of the Decade. These, among other endeavors, have earned Keith annual recognition from Forbes as one of the very top-earning entertainer/musicians in the world. Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill in Minneapolis, MN is nominated for Academy of Country Music Award ’s Nightclub of The Year.
Wild Shot Mezcal is made in
San Luis Potosi, Mexico from 10-year-old green agave plants. Mezcal produced with this type of agave is easily identifiable by its smooth smoky flavor. Harvested by hand and then cooked in masonry ovens for two days, the “piñas” are mashed on a circular milestone turned by a pair of mules to extract the honey juice. After fermentation, the “pulque” is distilled twice in copper pot stills. The
Silver is immediately bottled while the
Reposado is aged for two months in oak casks.
