What is the name of The Rock’s Tequila brand?
Teremana Tequila, created
by The Rock, has swiftly become one of the most sought after celebrity drinks
available. After debuting with Blanco and Reposado, Teremana Añejo is the
latest product from the premium tequila company.
The new expression, which
is made in small batches using traditional processes, has aromas of vanilla and
toasted agave, as well as rich, toasty oak and a silky finish. The ultimate
product is a filled, rich tequila that's been roasted in brick ovens, fermented
in copper pot stills, and matured in wooden barrels for at least one to two
years.
The brand, which was
cofounded by Johnson, liquor industry veterans Jenna Fagnan and Ken Austin, and
bodybuilder Dany Garcia, debuted in March 2020 with an initial release in the
United States, and expanded to markets in Canada and Mexico.
Although the spirit brand
launched a short while before the pandemic and the global lockdown, The Rock
and his team were determined to ensure the success of the brand afterward.
"We all had to shut
down around the world, obviously it affected our businesses large and
small," Johnson told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street". But the pandemic ended up being fruitful for Teremana. The brand sold more than
300,000 9-liter cases in the past nine months, he said.
According to Nielsen data,
off-premise liquor sales increased 34.1 percent during the COVID-19 lockdowns
in the spring, as more customers drank at home than in pubs and diners.
The Rock said he'd
"always been a tequila drinker" and has had the concept for a tequila
firm for the past 10 years, but waited until the timing was appropriate which
was March 2020.
Teremana Tequila is set
for a big global growth as it plans to sign a new deal with German liquor giant
Mast-Jägermeister.
The deal's terms have not
been revealed.
Mast-Jägermeister will
serve as the brand's sole distribution partner, as well as expanding global
operations including sales, marketing, and logistics knowledge. It would also
help the company establish an organizational structure to assist sales growth,
as part of its investor and partnership duties.
And, if recent statistics
are any indication, Teremana's future directory will require a plan to increase
massively and quickly. In 2021, the premium liquor company sold over 640,000
cases.
Teremana is made in
Jalisco, Mexico, at the Destileria Teremana de Agave. The brand's name
approximately translates as "spirits of the earth" with three
expressions: a blanco, a reposado, and an añejo.
