SAN
DIEGO, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Heading into National Tequila Day on July 24th, Santo Spirits
announces nationwide availability of Santo 110 Proof Blanco
Tequila, previously found only in limited outlets in the U.S.
Produced by third-generation distiller Juan Eduardo Nuñez and
tequilera Karina Rojo at El Viejito
Distillery (NOM 1107) in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, Santo 110 Proof Blanco Tequila is an
unexpectedly smooth spirit crafted with time-honored traditions and
no dilution to fully capture the agave-forward flavor that is
Santo's calling card.
"Santo 110 Proof Blanco Tequila is an
unexpectedly smooth spirit crafted with time-honored traditions and
no dilution to fully capture the agave-forward flavor that is
Santo's calling card."
Handcrafted in small batches, Santo 110 Proof Blanco is
distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave – both estate-grown and
sourced from the highest-quality suppliers in the Highlands region.
The agaves are cooked using traditional stone ovens – employing a
low pressure and slow cooking method that optimizes the deep,
earthy flavor of sweet agave. Santo 110 Proof Blanco is bottled at
the still strength proof of 55% ABV, meaning no water is added that
would reduce the impact of the agave. This is complemented by the
fact that all Santo tequilas are certified 100% additive free. Some
producers use additives to mask the agave flavor or to cover for
using bitter, under-aged agaves.
The expert tasting panel at The Beverage Testing Institutes
notes: "The new Santo 110 Proof Blanco features aromas and flavors
of vanilla lime cream; candied jalapeño and tomatillo; prickly pear
gelatin candy; and grilled jackfruit. It has a round, vibrant, dry
medium body and a warming, elegant, medium-length finish that
exhibits accents of lime, celery, cilantro, mango juice, candied
peppers and sage. With layers of interesting flavors and
complexity, Santo 110 Proof Blanco smells and tastes of all the
goodness of a hot summer day by the pool."
Best enjoyed neat, Santo 110 Proof Blanco is a true sipping
tequila, though mixing with it reveals the impact real agave flavor
can have on any classic tequila cocktail, particularly those
featuring bright citrus.
Santo 110 Proof Blanco was awarded a Double Gold Medal at the
2024 SIP Awards and joins Santo Tequila
Blanco, Santo Tequila Reposado, Santo Tequila Reposado and
the original Santo Mezquila, the first-ever tequila and mezcal
blend, as part of the Santo portfolio of fine agave spirits.
Available as a 750 ml, Santo 110 Proof Blanco retails for
$69.99. All Santo Spirits products
are available nationwide in the United
States, including Puerto
Rico, as well as Mexico,
Canada, Japan and online at

About Santo Spirits
Santo Spirits was born from a decades-old friendship between
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sammy
Hagar and internationally renowned chef Guy Fieri. Having introduced the U.S. to super
premium 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila with his first brand back in
1996, Sammy teamed up with Guy in 2019 looking for one thing –
bold, authentic flavor achieved through uncompromising quality. Of
course, being Sammy and Guy, they also wanted to make the best
tequilas in the world. Paramount to their vision, all Santo Spirits
tequila products must be additive free and carefully crafted using
time-honored traditional methods that allow the agave to shine
through. This led them to the famed El Viejito Distillery, founded
in the Highlands of Jalisco,
Mexico in 1937 and helmed by a third-generation distiller.
Santo Spirits' award-winning portfolio includes a Blanco, Reposado,
Añejo and a 110 Proof Blanco Tequila, along with Mezquila – the
world's first tequila and mezcal blend. For more information,
