New Liquor Brand Launched In Honor Of Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell

Rita Haney, the longtime girlfriend of Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, has launched a new liquor brand to honor the late metal legend. Haney has just started up BlackTooth Beverages, a liquor brand that features a rye whiskey as well as ready-to-drink cocktails. Dime famously concocted his own whiskey-cola cocktail which he affectionately called the “BlackTooth Grin,” which is where the new brand derives its name. Darrell apparently got the name of his notorious drink from the lyrics of Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets.”

“Darrell always wanted his own whiskey, we talked about it a lot together,” said Haney in the press release. “I have handwritten notes and lists, with his ideas and drawings, BlackTooth was always part of those goals he wanted to reach. Dime was always about unity, whether it be brought around through music or good cocktails. He was always about a damn good time! I think this whiskey represents his essence very well.” (Consequence of Sound)
