10 Most Popular Tequila Brands in the World

2. Casamigos

Insider Monkey Score: 16

In 2013, George Clooney and his partners Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman founded Casamigos Tequila, and four years later, the brand was acquired by Diageo in a deal worth up to $1 billion, as the world’s largest spirits maker sought to lift its presence in the high-growth market. 

Casamigos has achieved massive success since then and with worldwide sales of 3.2 million 9-liter cases last year, now ranks among the Most Popular Tequila Brands Globally. Also, the recent news that the brand has expanded its lineup with a cristalino expression should only add to its potential to sell another few million over the coming years.
