Teremana Tequila

Teremana is what happened when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson decided tequila deserved the same work ethic he brings to everything else. Launched in 2020 and now one of the fastest-growing spirits brands in history, Teremana — "spirit of the earth" — is made at a family-run distillery in the Jalisco Highlands, where estate agave is slow-roasted in brick ovens and distilled in handmade copper pot stills. The result punches far above its price: real, agave-forward tequila with no additives and none of the celebrity-brand shortcuts.

The lineup covers every job behind a bar. Teremana Blanco ($39.09) is bright citrus and cooked agave — the margarita and ranch water workhorse, and one of the best values in the entire tequila collection. Teremana Reposado ($43.99) adds four months in oak for vanilla warmth that shines in a spicy margarita or over a single big cube. Teremana Añejo ($54.09) goes deeper — more than a year in barrel for caramel and baking-spice notes that make it a legitimate neat sipper for bourbon drinkers crossing over. Just trying it out? The Teremana Blanco 375ml ($22.09) half bottle is the low-commitment introduction.

What sets Teremana apart from the celebrity-tequila crowd is what's not in the bottle. No additives, no artificial sweeteners, no shortcuts — just slow-roasted highland agave, open-air fermentation, and copper-pot distillation, with the still cuts made by hand. The distillery even returns leftover agave fibers to local farms as compost and filters its water back to the land. It's a working-distillery ethos wearing a famous name, rather than the other way around — and it's why bartenders who roll their eyes at celebrity brands still keep Teremana on the well.

With National Tequila Day coming July 24, Teremana is an easy call for the house pour — our new five-margarita guide uses the blanco for skinny margaritas and the reposado for frozen batches.
