What an amazing surprise to be included in VinePair's list of 6 Standout Alternatives to Don Juliio 1942! Dave Karraker Raptor Communications Dan Butkus "If you’re a fan of 1942 for its posh reputation with the celebs, Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri’s Santo Spirits is a fun brand to seek out. While it’s not as big of a draw as some A-list tequilas (though the triple D star is an A-lister to us) this tequila is actually good. The brand’s reposado is a well-balanced bottling with bright, vegetal agave notes and a touch of sweet oak on the finish. Though it’s not aged as long as the other bottlings on this list, it’s delicious, and available at a fraction of the price." https://lnkd.in/e8E3_big

Are you familiar with the growing interest around still-strength tequilas? Check out this fantastic article and see what they have to say about our Santo 110 Proof Blanco. "How did a tequila brand owned by Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar make this list? Most celebrity-endorsed tequilas have a reputation of questionable quality and provenance. Santo is a notable exception. Hagar is a vocal proponent of additive-free, traditionally produced tequila. He’s partnered with?Tequila Matchmaker?to increase awareness about how additive-free bottlings offer a more authentic experience."

We are very pleased to announce Santo Spirits has inked a deal with Shaw-Ross International, who will assume national distribution for the full award-winning Santo Tequila range, working in conjunction with Santo’s existing wholesaler network. Our partnership with Shaw-Ross will serve as a catapult to lift Santo Tequila well above a very crowded field and will serve as an incredibly loud mouthpiece to promote Santo’s additive-free credentials and truth in distilling using only traditional methods. We will be leveraging Shaw-Ross’s deep experience, contacts and resources to exponentially contribute to Santo achieving its long-term business goals. Sammy, Guy, and the entire Santo Team can’t think of a better partner on this journey. Ana KornegayDan Butkus Dave Karraker https://lnkd.in/grySa2tV
