The Tequila Sean Penn drank with El Chapo will soon debut in the U.S.

I think it’s clear that Sean Penn is a shitty journalist and a hack who just managed to snag the interview every great journalist has been trying to get for the past few decades—a sit down with public enemy number one, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera.

Penn wrote a self-serving, dull tale of his journey full of inane details, delivered in scatter-brained prose that led to a high school newsletter style interview. In Mexico, reporters have labeled the story “Sean Penn’s fart,” referring to the story itself, not his flatulent slip in front of the fugitive drug lord.

But Penn did mention sippin’ tequila with El Chapo and the actress/broker of this historic meeting, Kate del Castillo, along with a spread of tacos and other foods. What kind of journalist leaves out the name of the tequila and some details on the food?

The tequila in question is Kate del Castillo’s own brand, Honor del Castillo Reflexion blanco (it will soon debut in the U.S.), which she promised to share with the legendary leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

El Chapo isn’t much of a drinker, and apparently doesn’t get high on his own supply, but he occasionally steals a sip of Buchanan’s (wildly popular blended Scotch whisky that’s popular in Mexico) and celebrity brand tequila.
