Dimebag Darrell’s Blacktooth Beverages Launches; Public Launch Event in LA on Dime’s Birthday

IN DIME WE TRUST is proud to announce the establishment of Blacktooth Beverages —a female-owned-and-led liquor brand founded by Rita Haney, trustee and widow of the late legendary Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Blacktooth Beverages’ mission is to honour his legacy with premium handcrafted beverages which embody his rebellion, creativity, and unifying nature with the release of Blacktooth American Rye Whiskey, Blacktooth Blended, and Blacktooth Grin Ready To Drink Single-Serve cocktails (Leaded & Unleaded).

Blacktooth American Rye Whiskey is the brand’s signature release—a seven-year-old aged rye whiskey blended with the finest artesian spring water from the Rocky Mountains. Blacktooth Blended is a blend of the seven-year American Rye whisky and ultra-smooth vodka at a wallet-friendly point of 33 dollars in honour of Dimebag’s known association with the number three. Blacktooth Grin is a blend paying tribute to Dimebag’s infamous drink concoction, the “Black Tooth Grin,” a canned mix of Blacktooth Blended and cola available as “Leaded” (with sugar) and “Unleaded” (sugar-free). All four beverages are currently available to purchase online in select U.S. markets via https://blacktoothbeverages.com.

Haney shares:

“Darrell always wanted his own whiskey, we talked about it a lot together. 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 loved to pour ‘em up and ‘Watch It Go!’ He was always about a damn good time! I think this whiskey represents his essence very well… That ‘Getcha Pull’ attitude… enjoy life and have as much of a good time as can be had. You can’t go wrong with that outlook, and a good cocktail to go along with it!”

Blacktooth Beverages’ launch will be celebrated with a special event on Tuesday, August 20th, on Dimebag’s birthday, from 5:00 – 8:00 pm at the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood, CA. Haney will be behind the bar pouring the new line of Blacktooth Beverages for fans along with some special guest bartenders (to be announced). A “Dimebag Experience” pop-up will feature a display of Dimebag’s iconic guitars, personal effects, and memorabilia, plus exclusive Dimebag Hardware merch.

SIRIUS XM’s Jose Mangin will be broadcasting “Dime Day” live from the event, an annual 24-hour broadcast celebrating Dimebag and his music, which includes tributes and stories from fellow musicians and fans. Mangin will also bring the VinDime limo (aka “White Fang”), a restored 1997 Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine previously owned by Dimebag and Pantera co-founder/drummer Vinnie Paul, for fans to sit in and take photos with. There will also be a special acoustic performance from rock n’ roll group OF LIMBO during the event.
