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.
It's all a grift. Celebrities found they can make money off of suckers by putting their name on a crappy product and charging more.
All I see are Krusty brand products. It was common in the 90s, but it's absolutely rampant today.
" I don't mind the taste!!"
Aviation gin is arguably the worst gin. Ryan can fuck off.
