All-In Podcast Launches ‘The Besties All-In Tequila'
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, All-In Podcast hosts Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg – A.K.A. 'The Besties' – launched The Besties All-In Tequila. The All-In Podcast is one of the world's top-ranking podcasts that features insider takes on business, technology, and society.
In 2023, The Besties discovered a very rare store of tequila in Jalisco, Mexico that was pot-distilled from 100% Blue Weber agave and aged in white oak ex-whiskey barrels for five years. After sampling directly from the barrels, the group knew they had stumbled onto something special and immediately acquired the entire supply. The Besties worked with a local master distiller to blend the batch to a perfect balance over months of tastings and iterations. The Besties All-In Tequila was born, an exceptional extra anejo featuring a smooth, slightly sweet taste with hints of wood, citrus, dried fruits, butterscotch, vanilla, cacao, toffee, and cooked agave.
To match the tequila's exceptional quality, The Besties designed limited-edition packaging. Each bottle is a custom, hand crafted art piece featuring hand painted poker chip accents and an individually numbered medallion for collectors. The interior of the box illuminates upon opening to showcase the complexity of the bottle's design. Each collector's box includes The Besties' signatures.
'It's been wonderful to build this product together. We fight, we argue and then we come back together. You're going to love drinking this tequila and the bottle is gorgeous,' said Jason Calacanis.
' We do these projects because they're fun to do together,' agreed Chamath Palihapitiya. 'The money isn't going to change anyone's life — well, except maybe JCal's.'
David Sacks shared the spirited backstory behind the launch, from late-night group chats to tequila tastings in Mexico. 'We found a rare set of five-year aged agave barrels and turned them into something we're really proud of. People are going to be surprised by how smooth and good this tequila is. We wouldn't put our names on it if it wasn't exceptional.'
The Besties hosted a private black-tie event at Delilah in Los Angeles, CA to celebrate the launch. The invitation-only event welcomed tastemakers, tech founders, venture capitalists, and entertainment industry elite for an evening of live music performances, tequila tastings, and curated experiences.
The Besties All-In Tequila is now on-sale at https://tequila.allin.com/ for $1,200 US plus applicable taxes and fees per bottle. All sales will be fulfilled by Flaviar. Order delivery is expected in late summer 2025.
The All-In Podcast delivers conversations worth having. When the pandemic prevented four friends from convening their weekly poker game, they took to the airwaves to socialize and discuss the news of the day. Hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg, the show features insider takes on business, technology, and society and interviews with the world's most influential thinkers.

Ravens All-Pro Kyle Hamilton gets engaged to longtime girlfriend in French getaway
Kyle Hamilton's having himself a nice offseason. On Friday, the All-Pro safety is now engaged with his longtime girlfriend, Reese Damm. The pair posted a series of photos of Hamilton getting down on one knee and popping the question on a waterfront in France, with framed pictures and candles to set the scene. 4 Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton is engaged to his high school sweetheart. Instagram/@dammreese The high school sweethearts have been together since they attended the Marist School in Atlanta, Georgia.

He racked up 138 tackles, eight interceptions and eight tackles for loss in 31 career games with the Fighting Irish. 4 Kyle Hamilton (L) and Reese Damm attend the 13th annual NFL Honors at Resorts World Theatre on February 8, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Instagram/@dammreese This past season, he raised his tackle total to 107, made the Pro Bowl once again, nabbed All-Pro Second Team honors and was ninth in Defensive Player of the Year voting. As for Damm, she went on to graduate with a bachelor's degree in public relations and image management from South Carolina, according to the Daily Mail. She has since tried her hand in music as she has released two EPs and a single while also working a PR job at Zest Social Media Solutions. 4 Kyle Hamilton with Reese Damm.
