Batch 22 Made This Impressive Forbes List

Well, it's party time.

Downtime Cocktails would like to formally invite our fellow honorees—Beyoncé, Bob Dylan, Jason Momoa, and Mike Love—to join us for a celebratory dinner in Los Angeles so we can all toast our being designated one of the "5 Celebrity Spirits That Are Actually Great" by Forbes magazine.

That's right, Batch 22 is one of only five spirits that Forbes contributor, Erik Ofgang, included on his list of "Great Celebrity Spirits."

Co-Founder Matthew Arkin with his father Alan Arkin attend Alan's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony.

What's even better is that Ofgang not only considered celebrity spirits, but also weighed his final choices against non-celebrity spirits to make sure they stacked up to his quality standards. He writes, "The...5 spirits were my favorites after trying dozens of spirits from actors, musicians and TV personalities. They were also all in the top tier of my rankings when compared to non-celebrity spirits in their respective categories."

Now, we don't generally tout Batch 22 as a "celebrity" spirit, though we do have deep and longstanding roots in Hollywood. Because lots of brands with stars attached get a bad rap for being mediocre (many deservedly so), we prefer to let the complex and delicious liquid in our bottles do the talking for us. Oh, and we're happy to let Erik Ofgang weigh in as well.
