ZEBULON, N.C., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- and Gabriel Iglesias, one of America's most successful stand-up comedians, announce the launch of , a Mexican-American tequila authentically crafted with heritage in every drop and family in every toast.

Refined enough to sip neat, yet real enough to pair with tacos at 2AM, Pocho Fino is made for nights that don't end when the clock says they should. The portfolio launches with a smooth and approachable Blanco alongside two distinctive flavored expressions: Mexican Candy and Grilled Pineapple, each bringing bold, nostalgic flavor inspired by culture and shared experiences.

Rooted in the heart of Mexico's Tequila region and brought to life in the United States, Pocho Fino is more than a tequila. It reflects a legacy shaped by real culture, meaningful moments, and the joy of coming together. Premium in taste but approachable in spirit, Pocho Fino offers a smooth introduction for new tequila drinkers, layered flavor for seasoned enthusiasts, and a versatile pour for any celebration.

"As a proud Mexican-American, I wanted to make a tequila that celebrates both my roots," said Gabriel Iglesias, Co-Founder of Pocho Fino Tequila. "When creating Pocho Fino Tequila, it was important to me that the tequila is approachable, full of flavor and fancy enough for a fine glass, or casual enough to drink out of a plastic cup. That's what makes it my kind of tequila."

Sharing his world with fans through laughter and heart, Pocho Fino continues Gabriel's storytelling and heritage. At the heart of the brand, and featured on every bottle, is a tribute to Risa and Vinnie, Gabriel's beloved dogs who have passed. Honored as the brand's guardians, they watch over every sip, reminding us that joy, love, and family never fade.

Served with a smile, a story, and unmistakable Mexican-American spirit, Pocho Fino is built on love and poured for family, bringing together double flavor, double culture, and real agave. It is available in three expressions:

• Crystal-clear and smooth, Pocho Fino Blanco Tequila (40% ABV) balances sweet cooked agave with bright citrus, tropical fruit, and a hint of earth and black pepper. The finish is clean and lightly sweet, elevated enough for a fine glass, but real enough to pair perfectly with late-night eats.
• Candied watermelon meets fresh lime and jalapeño in Pocho Fino Mexican Candy (35% ABV). It's sweet, spicy and citrusy – like your sister with the karaoke mic.
• As sweet, smoky and smooth as Fluffy's dance moves after midnight, Pocho Fino Grilled Pineapple (35% ABV) features the Blanco Tequila with grilled pineapple caramelized to perfection, kissed with a touch of hickory smoke and finished with the clean sweetness of agave.

"Next Century Spirits is proud to partner with Gabriel Iglesias to debut Pocho Fino Tequila, the first tequila in our award-winning portfolio," said Next Century Spirits Co-CEO Anthony Moniello. "This is not another celebrity spirits launch, it's a passion project for all of us that has been years in the making. Rooted in heritage, storytelling and Gabriel's deep connection to his fans, Pocho Fino Tequila is crafted to honor tradition while delivering exceptional quality in every bottle – a brand we are all incredibly proud of."

Pocho Fino Tequila is now available in 375ml ($17.99 SRP) and 750ml ($29.99 SRP) bottles at select retailers including Total Wine & More, BevMo!, Liquor Depot, Lee's Discount Liquor, and Walmart. The brand is currently distributed across California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, with additional states launching monthly.

NEW YORK, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In moments worth slowing down, the whisky in your glass should rise to the occasion. Introducing Oban Aged 15 Years Port Cask Finish, a distinguished Single Malt Scotch Whisky that embraces the coastal character of the harbor town of Oban with red fruit notes derived from Portuguese port casks for an intricate, dry finish. Following the remarkable reception of , this marks the second release for the brand's exclusive 15-Year-Old cask-finished series, continuing an exploration of how fortified wine casks can complement and elevate Oban's signature character.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here:

Oban 15 Port Cask Finish was inspired by the shared coastal heritage of its namesake town and Porto, Portugal, where centuries of seafaring trade shaped both ports and their spirits. Long ago, the sea carved Oban's "Little Bay of Caves," and brave ships brought stone and slate to build the distillery and its harbor town, later carrying Oban Whisky to the world. Across the Atlantic, Porto emerged as the historic home of Port wine, a fortified wine prized for its rich red fruit depth and long ocean journeys. That spirit of port-to-port exchange makes it a natural complement to Oban's robust coastal character. As the second release in Oban's 15-Year cask-finished series, this expression builds on the shared lineage of Scotch and fortified wines, including Sherry from Spain and Port from Portugal, each shaped by tradition, place, and craft. The bottle artwork for this expression draws on that connection, depicting Oban from the south of the bay with McCaig's Tower and the distillery in view, as seagulls fly homeward, symbolizing the journey across the seas.

"Oban 15 Port Cask Finish is a celebration of the journeys that have always defined our distillery and many others around the world," said Jesse Damashek, Senior Vice President of Whiskey at DIAGEO. "By bringing together Oban's coastal roots and the deep, sweet influence of American Oak Ruby Port casks, we've created a whisky that remains true to our character while offering something layered, expressive, and deeply rewarding to savor."

Tucked away in the Western Highlands of Scotland, Oban Distillery and its seven artisans ensure its small-still tradition is present in every expression, preserving a whisky style that reflects both its environment and its refined craftmanship. Oban 15 Port Cask Finish spent its maturation journey in American Oak Hogsheads before being finished in carefully selected, 100% American Oak Port casks. On the nose, it opens with fruity dry white wine, hints of raspberries and vanilla ice cream, alongside Oban's signature maritime notes of sea breeze and warm sand, while the palate reveals a soft, creamy-smooth texture with honeyed sweetness and juicy red fruit, developing into gentle salinity and peppery spice and leading to a short to medium, dry finish with lingering white pepper.

"Finishing this Oban in Port casks helps bring together delicious bright red fruit notes with lusciously sweet and spicy flavours," said Dr. Stuart Morrison, Diageo Master Blender. "The casks complement the maritime notes of Oban's distillery character, giving us a wonderfully mellow and well-balanced Single Malt."

This limited-edition bottle is an exclusive release available for a limited time at select spirits retailers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $130 bottled at 750mL.
