You should always be leery of anything endorsed by a celebrity. Do they actually like this product? Or were they simply paid a sack of cash to pretend that they do? This has become especially relevant as seemingly every week another celebrity is "launching" a spirit brand. I mean, it’s one thing for an A-lister to dupe us into buying a luxury car or $10,000 watch...but a bottle of bourbon? That should be up to the people to decide.

For these rankings, I included any liquor brand that is visibly owned, invested in, or heavily attached to a celebrity (that excludes a few commercial appearances, like Mila Kunis for Jim Beam). I also included any brand bold enough to grant their celebrity some bullshit title like "Chief Tastemaker."

I didn’t include celebrity booze that no longer exists (R.I.P. Dennis Rodman Original Bad Ass Premium Vodka). Likewise, there are just far too many celebrity wines—some good, like Kyle MacLachlan’s Pursued by Bear, others quite Fergalicious—to add to this ranking. Ditto beers, which negates boy band Hanson’s Mmmhops.

While I tried to rank strictly based on the quality of the liquor, I’m only human, and I might have unwittingly dinged a product or two if they were owned by particularly lame celebrities. I also thought it was weird that there's only one woman-owned liquor, but presumably it's because women are smart enough not to crowd the market with such an ego-driven jerk-off of a product.

You'll see plenty of megastars you love with products that stink, as well as plenty of celebrities we all loathe with impressive booze. And while none of the following spirits are what I'd call world class, quite a few are pretty damn good. So that's where we'll start.
