Santo Tequila Blanco
Santo Tequila Blanco is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 100% Blue Weber agave blanco from the highlands of Jalisco — unaged, additive-free, and built in the old-world style. It's the flagship white spirit from Santo Spirits, the brand founded by Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri as an answer to additive-heavy celebrity tequila: two-stage slow-cooked highland agave, a proprietary yeast, and precise distillation cuts at El Viejito Distillery in Atotonilco el Alto — with nothing added, ever. The result is a blanco that leads with agave: earthy, peppery, and citrus-bright, with the delicate spice and floral notes of a traditionally made white tequila. This 750mL bottle is the purest taste of the Santo platform. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Blanco That Started Santo
Before the Reposado and before the Mezquila, there was the Blanco — Santo's second spirit and the one that set the template. Hagar, coming off Cabo Wabo, and Fieri wanted a tequila that tasted like agave was supposed to taste, so they went old-world: slow cooking, careful cuts, no additives to round the corners. In the glass it's smooth but honest — fresh agave and citrus on the nose with white pepper and earth, a bright, full palate of agave with delicate spice and floral notes, and a clean, crisp finish. Stack it against other highland blancos in our tequila collection or browse the Santo Tequila range.
Tasting Notes
Nose: fresh agave, citrus, a hint of white pepper, earthy and floral notes. Palate: bright and smooth — full, complex agave with citrus, delicate spice, and floral character. Finish: clean and crisp.
How to Enjoy
The essential Margarita blanco — its agave-forward character holds up to lime and orange liqueur without disappearing. Also excellent in a Ranch Water or sipped neat to appreciate the additive-free clarity.
