Perhaps unsurprisingly, the predominant categories are Whisk(e)y and Agave Spirits (such as Tequila) with a combined total of 50% of the total list of brands listed. From Blake Lively to Kendrick Lamar…these are the celebrities you won’t see with a drink in their hand. As Joan on Mad Men, Christina Hendricks naturally came into contact with a lot of whiskey on set. Originally introduced to Scotch by her husband, she became a huge fan of the peaty spirit and even gained an appreciation for its blending process. Clearly, she fit right in inside the whiskey-mad world of Mad Men. Inside the Cask is a blog about drinks, retail and travel created by Andre de Almeida.

• He was even credited with helping to turn the brand into the juggernaut it is today, through his vocal admiration of the drink at his shows.

A favorite topic of interconnected QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy communities, so-called “adrenochrome harvesting” long predates these groups. Google Trends shows significant spikes in searches for adrenochrome in March and June of 2020. On Friday, July 31, conspiracy theorists plan to hold the first “Child Lives Matter” protest in Hollywood to “expose” child trafficking, advertising the event with references to #adrenochrome. The actress took to social media in July 2017 to announce her sobriety. “My decision to become sober wasn’t out of a need necessarily, it was more just that I did ‘sober January’ and I just decided to keep going,” said Willis to People.

Eventually, though, he found his way back to the whisky-making traditions of his home country, and in making Red Bank whisky he fulfilled a longstanding dream. “My whole deal was that I wouldn’t go forward with it unless it was something I could be proud of, and as a Canadian brand, something Canada could be proud of, and I think that we’ve accomplished that.” British actor Tom Holland, known for playing Spider-Man, opened up earlier in the year about his sobriety. On Jay Shetty’s podcast, On Purpose, he admitted that quitting alcohol was ‘the best thing I’ve ever done’ after realising the extent of his dependence.

Scottish Whisky Awards

In 2018, he was the face of Heaven’s Door Spirits, a whiskey that he conceived with entrepreneur Marc Bushala. Apparently, Dylan was more interested in how the whiskey would feel to drink than its specific formulation or how it would taste. It’s also clear that he was approaching this newfound role as a whiskey creator from being a genuine fan, as opposed to just jumping on the bandwagon of celebs making liquors. I barely think about it alcohol’ he explained to The Telegraph, after a long route to getting sober after filming the Harry Potter franchise.

He told The Fix in 2017, “Within six months I became sober, and clean, and have been for the last 27 years.” A well-renowned British actress, Emma Thompson, drank constantly and every night during the COVID-19 lockdown in Scotland. Previously, Emilia Clarke, Emma’s co-actor in Last Christmas, revealed that they drank a lot together while filming. The actress received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010 right in front of the Pig n’ Whistle pub and thus celebrated the occasion with a beer and a pig while posing for the Paparazzi and the media. There must be something in the rock star handbook that states that all of its biggest stars must love whiskey.

Celebrities Who Love Whiskey

The actor’s love of the drink runs deep, and began at a pretty young age, an origin story that he explained during the launch of his own beverage Red Bank whisky. “When I was 15 I was cast in a play and the next youngest person in the cast was 32 years old,” he said to Master of Malt. Despite this increased visibility, conspiracy outlets accused major social media platforms and media of plotting to suppress the truth about adrenochrome. Adrenochrome conversation continued and intensified on social media, from claims Lady Gaga was participating in blood rituals for an adrenochrome fix, to the Covid-19 “spiked adrenochrome’ theory popularized by Pizzagate booster Liz Crokin. Despite claims of censorship, Google trend results showed that spamming celebrities’ pages with mentions of adrenochrome was working, leading to a spike in search traffic and social media conversation. Thompson is explicitly invoked in what seems to be the earliest recorded posts about adrenochrome harvesting on 4Chan’s /x/ and /pol/ boards, in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Unpopular ideas and small disinformation campaigns often go unreported, either unseen or ignored by platforms and mainstream press. The longer an infectiously bad idea goes undetected and undebunked, the more likely it is to spread and develop social importance. This phenomenon has enabled the rapid growth of antivax communities, Covid-19 disinformation, and the prevalence of the adrenochrome harvesting theory.

The writer (who was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was Celebrities Who Drink served a newfangled drink called a “cock-tail,” which was a concoction of Scotch and lemon juice. Twain’s taste quickly changed to accommodate the peatier version of the drink, and he became a committed fan of it from there on out. He would even be sent casks of Scotch as a gift from Andrew Carnegie, once the famed businessman found out that he loved the tipple.

The latter is thought to be the favorite brand of King Charles III, who has previously praised its traditional production methods upon a visit to the distillery in 1994. Gaga’s brand of choice is Jameson, which she cites as being behind the creative inspiration for some of her songs. We’d imagine this is less because of the whiskey itself, and more because of the effect it has on her writing — although she has cited the drink in the lyrics of her music.

“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated,” the singer said in a statement about SirDavis, seen via CNN. “SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy.” A Google search for “adrenochrome” prompts a knowledge panel, an automatically generated information box sourced from Wikipedia, with a description of the compound and some scholarly research.

In his older years, he’s embraced a slightly more sophisticated palette. He loves it so much that he’s managed to work it into the story of perhaps his most famous character to date. In a season 6 episode of “Parks and Recreation,” Offerman’s character Ron Swanson makes a visit to Lagavulin distillery, which was clearly prompted by the actor’s love of the drink. The best way for platforms to fight back is to take early action when something begins to go viral in hidden spaces.

In February 2019, Infowars featured a segment on adrenochrome, linking it to the Clinton Foundation via epipen manufacturers, and to the highly controversial “young blood” transfusion startup Ambrosia. A month later, adrenochrome “documentaries” began to emerge on YouTube, followed by many smaller copycat productions, helping form a searchable foundation for the current day conspiracy. The most effective conspiracy theories are built around kernels of truth.

There is a growing list of celebrities from music, sports, film & TV and other areas of showbiz getting involved with their own alcohol brands. The adrenochrome obsession shows just how hard it is to combat data voids. Would a peer-reviewed study on andrenochrome’s inability to reanimate aging global elites even impact the communities that spread these complex falsehoods? To date, Pinterest has taken the most aggressive action against the adrenochrome hashtag, directing users to a page about medical misinformation when they search for the word in an effort to curb hidden virality. In 2016 this same video was shared in a Pizzagate thread about the artist Marina Abromovich and her “spirit cooking” ceremonies.
