"I love getting behind a brand that is passionate about their craft and Kimo Sabe is doing just that with its award-winning taste and progressive female forward approach," says Mattek-Sands. "I was a fan from the first pour and could taste why Kimo Sabe is a 6-time Gold Medal winner. Kimo Sabe is revolutionizing the Mezcal market through their unique distillation process and leading the industry with a spotlight on agave sustainability."
