On April 3, plaintiff Andrei Tomescu filed a lawsuit against Teremana parent company Siete Bucks Spirits in Illinois federal court. Tomescu claims to have bought a bottle of Johnson’s tequila earlier in the year, believing that it was made exclusively with Blue Weber agave, as stated on the label. According to the filing, independent lab testing later revealed that the bottle was diluted with at least 10% of either cane- or corn-derived ethanol — the very same used to make rum or bourbon, respectively.

Tomescu also took issue with Teremana’s “small batch” and “handcrafted” marketing claims, reminding the court that the brand is capable of producing at least 12 million bottles annually.

“The product Tomescu purchased is industrially manufactured mixed tequila so he didn’t purchase a small-batch, high-value spirit, but rather a generic spirit with an overinflated price,” the lawsuit reads.

I always thought it was odd that the Rock is selling a tequila brand.
