It’s not uncommon for an artist to attach their name to a liquor brand; it’s been done dozens of times. From Diddy and Cirôc to JAY-Z and Ace of Spades, there’s no shortage of celebrity liquor. But, of course, not all liquors are created equally. According to a new study, Drake’s Virginia Black American Whiskey is the worst value celebrity liquor on the market.
Conducted by Money.co.uk., the study analyzed the average cost of 85 celebrity wines and liquors, then compared it to their average ratings using Vivino for wine and Distiller for liquor. Prices and ratings were then scored to rank each alcohol line out of 100. Drake’s brand came out as the worst value liquor, closely followed by Brett Ratner’s The Hilhaven Lodge whiskey and David Bickham’s Haig Club “Clubman” single grain scotch whiskey.
