Santo - Tequila Blanco High Proof 110 (750ml)
"
(55% abv) This famous-duo backed tequila (Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri don’t like to be called “celebrities”) came in on top thanks to its agave-forward flavor. Tasters also found vegetal notes with pepper, green, olive, and minerals. It is made at the Tequila El Viejito distillery (NOM 1107) in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco.
Bartenders put it in 2nd place, and rated it slightly higher than aficionados, who ranked it in 3rd. But when the scores of those 2 groups were averaged together, it achieved the highest average score of all still strength samples.
“Love the presence of the agave and the intensity in the mid-palate… this is a solid and excellent high-proof tequila,” said one taster.
The 2 groups scored them less than 1 point apart, which says a lot because bartenders are a tough crowd. This suggests that it is a high proof crowd pleaser.
Traditional production methods are used to create it, including small brick ovens, a roller mill, closed stainless steel fermentation tanks, and a special hybrid copper/stainless steel pot still.
Interestingly, Sammy Hagar’s very first batch of Cabo Wabo came from this distillery, and with Santo he gets to return to his roots by working with the same Mexican family that specializes in the creation of high quality, small-batch tequila." -- Tequila Matchmaker
