Santo Tequila Añejo - Santo: A Higher Spirit.

Nothing Added –
Except An Extra Year In The Barrel

Santo Spirits announces the fifth expression in its award-winning portfolio of ultra-premium agave spirits with the rollout of Santo Tequila Añejo. Produced by a third-generation distiller at the 86-year-old El Viejito distillery in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, Santo Tequila Añejo is crafted using time-honored methods focused on preserving the heritage of bold agave flavor from when tequila was first made in Mexico centuries ago.

From the carefully-selected yeast, to the two-stage low and slow cooking method, to the precise distillation cuts, the entire Santo production process is tuned towards preserving the traditional flavor of agave-forward tequila. Reinforcing this standard is the fact that Santo Tequila Anejo – like all Santo tequilas – is 100% additive free, meaning nothing is added to mask the agave flavor or to cover for using bitter, under-aged agaves or shorter aging periods in inferior casks.

Crafted to
Exacting Standards

Santo Tequila Añejo 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. To meet the team’s exacting standards, Santo Tequila Añejo is aged for an average of 24 months in former American Whiskey oak casks. That additional maturation allowed the liquid to reach a perfect flavor profile – with that copper hue renowned among aged spirits.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, the new añejo delivers aromas of clove, grapefruit peel and golden pineapple anchored in tobacco resin and soft, creamy vanilla. Silky on the palate, and equally dimensional and bright in color and clarity, Santo Tequila Añejo, has a full and long-lasting finish led by peppery cedar, dried desert sage and juicy, green melon.

WHY SANTO TEQUILA ANEJO?

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, and a 110-proof Blanco Tequila, along with Mezquila – the world’s first tequila and mezcal blend.

Santo Tequila Añejo spends an average of 24 months in the barrel, while most añejos age for less than half that time.

Santo Tequila Añejo – like all Santo tequilas – is 100% additive free.
