Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, the popular actor who stars in blockbuster action films, is showing that he also knows how to win over spirits connoisseurs, as his Teramana tequila, announced that it has sold more than one million cases of 9L sold annually.
The figure is a milestone for the three-year-old brand, as it invests in its growth while maintaining its mission of craft, accessibility and local community involvement.
Since its launch in 2020, Teremana has sold more than two million 9L cases across North America and has broken records as one of the largest new brand debuts in the world.
“I will start my statement with the most appropriate and grateful thing: thanks to the people. We launched Teremana three years ago and today we celebrate the extraordinary record-breaking achievement of selling one million cases a year,” said founder Dwayne Johnson.
“As we reach this unusual milestone for an independent brand, I am also very grateful for the dedication of our partners and our team to bring our tequila to people the right way, making tequila that honors traditional methods. That is the Teremana. We have been overwhelmed by the tremendous response to Teremana,” La Roca added.
In a statement, the brand points out that Teremana have been recognized by 17 of the main spirits awards, including gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022, gold at Tequila & Mezcal Masters 2022 from The Spirits Business and gold at the 2022 New Orleans Spirits Contest.
Teremana’s partners, the López Family, who are third-generation agave growers and second-generation distillers in the Jalisco highlands, said they will continue to oversee production of the beverage under the brand’s unique NOM, 1613.
“It has been an incredible journey to see Teremana reach this momentous milestone while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship,” said Alejandro López, partner at La Roca. “Our family is proud to be part of a brand that not only honors Mexico’s agricultural heritage, but also celebrates our craft and our people with the rest of the world. We thank our partners and customers for their trust and support, and we look forward to continuing to share the long tradition of making tequila and leaving a legacy for future generations of our family and our community in Jalisco.”
Finally, Dwayne Johnson commented: “Taking the extra time to invest in how we produce our liquid, invest in our people, and invest in the community and land over the next few years as we grow continues to be our north star. Teremana is the true and only tequila of the people”.
Teremana Tequila is available in three presentations: white, reposado and añejo, and is available in Mexico, the United States and Canada.
