Country megastar Kenny Chesney is known to enjoy the island spirit. Soon you'll be able to get into that spirit, or spirits, too.

The singer of "Beer in Mexico," "Keg in the Closet" and numerous other alcohol-steeped tunes is teaming up with Constellation Spirits to produce a premium rum.

Though it might not seem the obvious thing to do, Chesney may just need a new challenge. He's already sold millions of albums, won a ton of awards and been married (briefly) to a movie star—Renée Zellweger—so why not make the move into the liquor business?

If Sammy Hagar can do it, why not him?

"We're looking to create a fun-in-the-sun, vacation-in-a-bottle type experience that people everywhere can enjoy when they kick back and relax," said the singer in a statement.

Sounds good. We're pretty sure he knows what he's doing. How about lending the guy a hand with a name for his rum?

Spirits of a Storm? The Good Stuff? No Shoes, No Shirt, No Officer, I Don't Know How I Ended Up Sleeping on This Park Bench Without My Pants But I Bet It Was This Rum?
