Teremana was launched in March 2020 by Dwayne Johnson through his company Siete Bucks Spirits, with Dany Garcia, Jenna Fagnan and Ken Austin as co-founders. The name means earth spirit, taking its mana from the Polynesian side of Johnson's family. It is made in a small town in the highlands of Jalisco, at Destilería Teremana de Agave, in partnership with a Mexican family-owned distillery.
The agave is 100% blue Weber from the highlands. It is slow-roasted in brick ovens and distilled in handmade copper pot stills built by a local artisan, and the leftover agave fibre is composted and returned to the fields.
The reposado is that blanco rested in American oak barrels, with just a light touch of oak that adds a little sweetness while the agave stays in front. It is bottled at 40%. Sip it neat, or use it in a Paloma with grapefruit soda and a squeeze of lime, where the soft oak sits well with the citrus.
