Television personality and celebrity restaurateur Guy Fieri teamed up with his longtime friend — singer, songwriter, Van Halen guitarist, and owner of the chain Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill restaurant, Sammy Hagar — to release their own brand of tequila. Called Santo Tequila, Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri's tequila is yet another addition to the ever-growing celebrity spirits market.
Santo Tequila is made by Juan Eduardo Nuñez from the historic El Viejito distillery in Jalisco. He's the same third-generation master distiller who crafted Hagar's first foray into tequila, Cabo Wabo, as well as the rocker's second boozy endeavor, a tequila-mezcal blend called Santo Puro Mezquila that he launched in 2017 with the help of Maroon 5's Adam Levine. Now, Hagar is keeping the celebrity collaborations coming for this self-described "'old world' style tequila made with 100% Blue Weber Agave."
"Guy has always been a tequila lover, and when he approached me about creating a tequila together, it was perfect timing," Hagar said, explaining that he was already working on a new blanco tequila. "Guy and I shook hands, and a few months later, we were sipping the most amazing blanco tequila we'd ever tasted."
It's aged for four to five months in American oak barrels. When asked for his official statement about the product, Guy Fieri knocked it out of the park. "There are a few things I know," Fieri was quoted as saying. "Great food, killer drinks, and wild times. And Sammy and I are makin' it all happen with Santo."
Santo Tequila is available online and in major liquor and spirits retailers. The brand now has a line of tequilas, including a 80-proof blanco, 110-proof blanco, and reposado.
