Let’s have fun with it. After finding success with CIROC, Sean “Diddy” Combs and beverage company Diageo have taken to a new territory, tequila. With an obsession for perfection, Combs immersed himself in the world of tequila, with its unique construction and properties, and learned about the craft, heritage, and future of tequila. After significant research, sampling and refinement, three tequilas were born: DeLeón Blanco, DeLeón Reposado, and DeLeón Añejo. For the spring and beyond, dive into three sophisticated spins on a standby: The Margarita.
