Demand Skyrockets as Major Retailers Jump at the Chance to be Among the First to Carry Santo Tequila Blanco
LOS ANGELES, CA – October 24, 2019 – In the weeks following its introduction, Santo Tequila Blanco – a premium old world-style tequila from legendary rocker and entrepreneur, Sammy Hagar and acclaimed Emmy Award-winning chef and restaurateur, Guy Fieri – is heating up the California marketplace.
Just in time for the holidays, California joins Nevada in exclusively debuting Santo Tequila Blanco with the arrival of the first few thousand cases from the historic El Viejito Distillery in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, with New York, Georgia, South Carolina and Massachusetts rolling out later this month. California retailers including major club, grocery, wine & spirits specialty retailers, restaurants and bars were the first to secure Santo Tequila Blanco and have begun rolling-out it out in more than 200 locations throughout the state.
Hagar and Fieri worked with Juan Eduardo Nuñez, the acclaimed third-generation master distiller from the renowned El Viejito Distillery, to create Santo Tequila Blanco’s proprietary recipe. The spirit showcases Nuñez’s dedication to highlighting the unique flavors of agave in every batch, beginning with sustainably-sourced Blue Weber Agave from the famed highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
Hagar’s history of making world-renowned tequila and rum, Fieri’s world-famous taste buds, and Nuñez’s award-winning craftsmanship, bring to life the portfolio of Santo spirits; a sinfully smooth old world style tequila blanco. Santo Tequila Blanco is available for a suggested retail price of $39.99, with $49.99 the suggested retail price for Santo Mezquila.
