Welcome to Tekiah Kosher Tequila

Where Two Proud Cultures Become One Extraordinary Spirit

Some brands begin with a business plan. Tekiah began with family.

Founder Greg Sobol was raised in a home that celebrated two rich and enduring traditions. His mother was a proud Jewish Mexican, born and raised in Mexico City, and both of his parents instilled in him a deep appreciation for Jewish heritage, faith, family, and community. Growing up, Greg experienced firsthand how naturally these cultures complemented one another. Both value gathering around the table, celebrating life’s milestones, honoring tradition, and welcoming others with warmth and hospitality.

As Greg grew older, he realized something remarkable. Although tequila is one of Mexico’s greatest cultural treasures, no premium tequila authentically celebrated the connection between Mexico’s craftsmanship and Jewish tradition. Tekiah was born from that realization—not as a marketing idea, but as a reflection of Greg’s own heritage and identity.

Named after the Tekiah, the first blast of the shofar, the brand represents the beginning of something meaningful—a call to gather, celebrate, and remember. Just as the shofar has brought Jewish communities together for generations, every bottle of Tekiah is an invitation to connect, honor tradition, and create new memories around the table.

Crafted in the heart of Mexico from estate-grown 100% Blue Weber agave and certified OU Kosher, Tekiah is produced with an uncompromising commitment to authenticity and quality. That dedication has earned international recognition, including Gold for Añejo at the 2026 Agavos Awards, Double Gold for Reposado at the 2025 Agavos Awards, and Silver for Blanco at the 2025 Agavos Awards.

But awards are only part of the story.

Tekiah is about bringing people together. It is about raising a glass at Shabbat dinner, celebrating beneath the chuppah, gathering with family during the holidays, or sharing an unforgettable evening with friends. It is a reminder that the most meaningful moments in life are those we celebrate together.

Today, Tekiah stands as the world’s first luxury tequila brand inspired by the authentic heritage of a Jewish Mexican family. It is more than an award-winning tequila—it is a celebration of two extraordinary cultures united through craftsmanship, tradition, and community.

Every bottle tells a story. Every pour starts a conversation. Every toast is a celebration of heritage, connection, and L’Chaim.
