Heading into National Tequila Day on July 24th, Santo Spirits just announced nationwide availability of Santo 110 Proof Blanco Tequila.
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 is handcrafted in small batches and distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave – both estate-grown and sourced from suppliers in the Highlands region, the company states. The agaves are cooked using traditional stone ovens and the tequila is then bottled at 55% ABV.
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.”
Santo 110 Proof Blanco was awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2024 SIP Awards, according to the company. This expression joins Santo Tequila Blanco, Santo Tequila Reposado, Santo Tequila Reposado and the original Santo Mezquila as part of the Santo portfolio of agave spirits.
Available as a 750-ml. bottle, 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 on their website.
