When nan hosts of nan celebrated “All-In” podcast launched their ain tequila marque astatine a star-studded statement past June, each 750 bottles of nan $1,200 tone quickly sold out. But getting those bottles into customers’ hands has proven harder than expected.

The long-awaited bottles of Besties All-In tequila began shipping past week to those who ordered them, ending a astir five-month-long wait, Jason Calacanis, 1 of nan podcast’s hosts, told TechCrunch.
