Three Generations of Añejo, One Mission
Firebreak was founded by Berkeley Johnson, who lost his home in the 2017 Thomas Fire and built the brand around California's first responders — a tequila with a firebreak's purpose. The liquid draws on three generations of añejo-making heritage: Highland agave from the Golden Triangle, designed and produced with the family behind Casa Aceves. Per the brand, the profile is classic well-aged añejo — a well-balanced nose of caramel with a slight smoke accent, and a caramel body carrying dark cherry, honey and apple.
