Brad Pitt is launching a gin brand as a distiller.
The “Bullet Train” actor created The Gardener French Riviera Gin with ex-Tanqueray master distiller Tom Nichol and French winemaker Matthieu Perrin.
Pitt, who owns Château Miraval in Provence, a rosé-producing vineyard, launched a luxury skincare brand with the Perrin family last September.

The Gardener tends the ground here, favored by the gods. “The Gardener works in harmony with the shifts of the season, the exchange of warmth and cold, the pleasures of living well,” Perrin told The Hollywood Reporter.
“With wisdom, intuition, and experimentation, the Gardener creates a recipe that combines the mystery of nature with the pleasure of knowledge.” The Gardener nurtures soil, time, and a manner of existence found nowhere else.”

Pitt & Perrin’s new gin will premiere during this year’s Cannes Film Festival but not in the U.S. until September.
Pitt launched his invention after years of business endeavors.
The 59-year-old actor launched gender-neutral skincare company Le Domaine last year.
“Le Domaine is not meant to be a celebrity brand,” Pitt remarked in a news statement. It’s a universal anti-aging cosmetics line. I adore genderless lines.”
Pitt told British Vogue, “I don’t know if it’s just that I believe in being all-inclusive as much as possible? Maybe we guys need help learning how to manage our skin? I think my female lovers gave me more.”
In 2008, the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actress paid $28.4 million for Château Miraval, a 1,200-acre French chateau.
Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie purchased the winery to raise their children and create a company. They married on the grounds in 2014 and split in 2019.
Since 2016, Jolie has been fighting for custody of their children and divorce.
Pitt sued Jolie last summer over a vineyard sale after the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” star accused her of covertly selling her 50% ownership in his cherished firm to an alleged Russian billionaire and spirits mogul.
Pitt termed the transaction “vindictive and unlawful” after an adverse custody judgement.
Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne are Pitt and Jolie’s children.
