Teddy Jasper | Founder & CEO of Shadow Tequila
Founder Profile
Teddy Jasper
Founder and CEO of Shadow Tequila, a Tennessee-owned tequila crafted in Jalisco and built through hospitality, connection, and disciplined market execution.
Shadow Tequila was built to belong to real moments: familiar rooms, corner tables, late dinners, local bars, and the conversations people remember.
A founder building in the rooms where the brand lives.
Teddy Jasper built Shadow Tequila around a practical belief: strong brands are not only seen. They are felt in the places people return to, the bars where conversations run longer than planned, the restaurants that become part of a city's rhythm, and the nights remembered because of who was there.
Shadow Tequila carries that belief through a clear operating model. Crafted in Jalisco and raised in Tennessee, the brand is shaped by hospitality, local credibility, and consistent market presence.
