Review: Santo Fino Reposado Tequila

Santo Fino Reposado Tequila was released March 2021.  It was crafted by Sammy Hagar, Guy Fieri, and Juan Eduardo Nunez, the Master Distiller at El Viejito.  Years ago Sammy worked with Juan in creating the Cabo Wabo brand.  Sammy later sold Cabo Wabo to Campari for $80 million.  Santo Reposado starts with the Santo Blanco Tequila base made from 100% Weber Blue Agave grown in the Highland region.  Once hand selected and trimmed the agave is steamed in traditional stone ovens for 17 hours.  The agave pinas rest for 4 hours and are then steamed for another 12 hours.  The extracted juice is fermented for 4 days and double distilled in copper stills.  The tequila then rests for 4-5 months in lightly charred used American oak bourbon barrels.
