Born from a collaboration between rock legend Sammy Hagar, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and third-generation master distiller Juan Eduardo Nuñez, Santo Añejo is more than just a celebrity tequila. It's a culmination of passion, expertise, and a dedication to creating an exceptional añejo that redefines what this aged spirit can be.
This award-winning tequila begins its journey with 100% hand-selected Blue Weber agave, grown in the heart of Jalisco's highlands. The agaves are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, a method that unlocks their deep, earthy flavors. The resulting agave nectar is then double-distilled in small batches using time-honored techniques, ensuring the purity and character of the spirit shines through.
But it's the aging process that truly sets Santo Añejo apart. Unlike many añejos aged for the minimum requirement, Santo rests patiently for an average of 24 months in lightly charred, used American oak barrels. This extended slumber allows the tequila to soak up the subtle complexities of the oak, developing a rich amber hue and a flavor profile that is both sophisticated and incredibly smooth.
On the nose, Santo Añejo offers an enticing bouquet of aromas. Hints of sweet agave mingle with notes of vanilla, clove, grapefruit peel, and a touch of tobacco resin. The first sip reveals a silky texture that caresses the palate. The agave flavor takes center stage, complemented by hints of toasted oak, subtle herbal notes, and a touch of milk chocolate. The finish is long and lasting, with a pleasant peppery spice and a lingering sweetness.
Santo Añejo is an exceptional tequila that is perfect for sipping neat or savoring in a well-crafted cocktail. Whether you're a seasoned tequila aficionado or just starting to explore the world of agave spirits, Santo Añejo is sure to impress with its depth, complexity, and unparalleled smoothness.
