Teremana Añejo

Dwayne Johnson’s name and loved personality no doubt helped skyrocket the brand’s sales, making Teremana one of the fastest-growing celebrity-endorsed spirit brands of all time since their launch in March 2020. However, unlike many celebrity-endorsed spirit brands he is not just a ‘face’; with aspirations of having his own tequila company for over a decade prior, he is actually very involved within the company. By the end of 2020 it had already sold 300,000 cases in the US alone, already accounting for 1% of all tequila imported from Mexico into the US.

Created in a small town in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, Johnson worked with a Mexican family-owned distillery and built their own distillery on the grounds solely for Teremana Tequila. When drinking Teremana Añejo Tequila you can feel the love, care and extra quality that went into the entire process from beginning to end to bring you this world-class premium tequila.

Teremana Añejo Tequila is a smooth, rich, amber-coloured spirit with a beautiful oaky/vanilla taste, with notes of sweet agave. Dwayne Johnson spent many years developing his perfect recipe which many people originally bought for the curiosity and hype, but now swear by, claiming to buy nothing else other than Johnson’s ‘Teremana’.

Teremana Añejo is locally made from 100% Blue Weber agave, these are picked and then roasted in a brick oven for three days before being fermented in open tanks, and finally distilled in handmade copper pot stills.

In case you were wondering, the name ‘Teremana’ is an homage to Johnson’s Polynesian heritage. ‘Tere’ comes from the Latin word for ‘earth’, whereas ‘mana’ is Polynesian for ‘spirit’, combined together meaning ‘spirit of the earth’.

What makes Teremana Añejo special?

Aside from having its own distillery only used for Teremana Tequila (whereas most other tequila brands share distilleries), and it’s now-infamous celebrity status and impressive growth, the Teremana Tequila brand is the winner of three awards from the 2022 USA Spirits Awards.

These awards include second place for the ‘tequila of the year’ award for Teremana Blanco Tequila, and the gold (for the same award) for Teremana Reposado. Teremana Añejo Tequila is the newest of the three and only recently launched, so no doubt we’ll be hearing its name as the winner of spirit competitions very soon.
