TOBY KEITH ORDERS "MEZCAL FOR MY MEN ... " Wild Shot Thrown Back Nightly In "Beer For My Horses" Toast

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) The multi-week No. 1 smash "Beer For My Horses" has been a staple of Toby Keith's standing-room-only live shows for years. And every night, the acclaimed entertainer raises a glass during the tune and toasts firefighters, soldiers and law enforcement. The inevitable question - "What are you drinking?" - can now be definitively answered. He's saluting those who serve with Toby Keith's Wild Shot Mezcal.

A chart-topping singer, songwriter and entertainer every year since his 1993 debut, Toby recently helped to create the new spirit, which is handcrafted from 100% green agave. "The tradition and history of Mezcal is magical to me, and dates back to 16th century warriors celebrating the defeat of their enemies," Keith says, a concept with clear parallels to "Beer For My Horses":

When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces...

Wild Shot will be imported by Shaw-Ross, a leading importer and marketer of fine wines and spirits.

Toby has been topping album and singles charts, with his self-composed songs having amassed more than an astounding 70 million airplay spins. The music he writes and records has become the foundation of a far-reaching entertainment empire, which now includes Wild Shot Mezcal. His current album Bullets In The Gun debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and his single "Somewhere Else" is racing up the country charts.

No word on whether Keith's customary shot includes the bottle's worm.
