Matthew McConaughey has chosen Australia as the first international market for his Pantalones Organic Tequila.

Co-founded with his wife Camila McConaughey, Pantalones Blanco, Reposado and Añejo expressions are now on shelf at Dan Murphy’s stores around the country.

“We launched Pantalones to remind everyone that tequila should be high-quality juice and fun,” the couple said.  

“We’re grateful that our message has been embraced by both tequila lovers and the industry. Whether it’s enjoyed in cocktails, shooters, or sipped neat, Pantalones performs, and now, we’re excited to share it with Australia.”

Pantalones Organic Tequila only launched in the US last year, but has already secured multiple awards, including a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its Organic Añejo, as well as Double Gold for its Organic Reposado at the SIP Awards. The Pantalones Organic Blanco also claimed a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

“With an overwhelmingly successful first year in the US, we are really looking forward to taking Pantalones to the next level with our first international market, Australia,” said Andrew T. Chrisomalis, co-founder and Chairman of Pantalones.

“The Australian spirit truly embodies everything Pantalones stands for; this is the perfect place to bring our brand to next, and we hope Aussies love our organic tequila as much as we expect they will.”

The Blanco features notes of honey and citrus, the Reposado (aged for nine months) features a balance of sweet fruit and oak, while the Añejo (aged for 15 months) is rich with vanilla, butterscotch, and maple flavours.

Crafted from 100% organic blue Weber agave and produced at a family-owned distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, Pantalones Organic Tequila is committed to sustainability, being USDA-certified organic and a proud member of 1% for the Planet.

Its partnership with the Surfrider Foundation also works to protect oceans and beaches, with the aim that the brand reflects values that Australians hold dear.

Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila 750ml has an RRP of $109.99 per bottle, Pantalones Organic Reposado Tequila 750ml has an RRP of $119.99 per bottle and Pantalones Organic Añejo Tequila 750ml has an RRP of $139.99 per bottle.
