Teeq Tequila by Don Ferguson: the hummingbird sign

Hummingbird is a representation of a warrior in Mesoamerican cultures and a bird from the Americas.  I think Don Ferguson and his team have been working like warriors in the last two years.  In this interview, he speaks about the Teeq brand evolution with his wife Nayana.  Now, they are a team with three American warriors and we have a relevant story to listen.   How they reinvented a new life, a career and created an agave spirit brand in the grain alcohol market in Michigan.

Teeq Tequila is a premium tequila company created by husband and wife duo Don and Nayana Ferguson and their business partner Michael Rowoldt. While Nayana and Michael currently maintain successful careers in finance, Don left his lucrative career as a Divisional Vice President of Operations with Quicken Loans Mortgage to pursue a lifelong dream. All owners have put on their spirits industry hats and are aggressively pursuing their passion to advance the agave movement.

Teeq Tequila released two tequila expressions on August 27th, 2018 on the Michigan market, Teeq Coconut Lime Blanco Tequila, which is the world’s only Coconut Lime Blanco Tequila. At the same time Teeq Reposado Tequila was released. Aged 8 months in 2nd generation Tennessee whiskey barrels, it’s a premium classic Reposado with a subtle whiskey finish. On October 1st 2019, Teeq Tequila released their 3rd expression in their portfolio, Teeq Blanco Tequila being heralded by consumers as the “smoothest tequila on the planet”!

Teeq Tequila is made from the finest Blue Weber Agave plant, harvested at 7 years. Using both the Highland and Lowland Agaves, which is unique to the industry, Teeq Tequila is a premium tequila that is a great sipping on ice or blends exceptionally well in many cocktails. While Teeq Tequila is a proud Michigan brand, to be considered 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila, everything must be produced and bottled in Mexico and Teeq Tequila has partnered with one of the most awarded distilleries in Mexico, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, NOM 1438.
