Santo Tequila Extra Anejo Lifestyle bottle with pour

Santo Spirits announced the first limited-edition offering in its portfolio of agave spirits with the launch of Santo Tequila Extra Añejo. 

Aged for 41 months in a single ex-bourbon barrel and bottled at 80 proof, the Extra Añejo Tequila is produced by third-generation distiller Juan Eduardo Nuñez and tequilera Karina Rojo at El Viejito Distillery (NOM 1107) in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco. With fewer than 240 bottles available for purchase, Santo’s 2025 Extra Añejo expression is a rare,100% additive-free tequila.

Santo Tequila Extra Añejo is crafted using methods that focus on preserving the heritage of agave flavor from when tequila was first made in Mexico centuries ago. Like all tequilas in the Santo Spirits portfolio, Santo Tequila Extra Añejo is distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave – both estate-grown and sourced from suppliers in the Highlands region. The agaves are cooked using traditional stone ovens, employing a low pressure/slow cooking method that optimizes the deep, earthy flavor of sweet agave. 

From the carefully selected yeast, to the two-stage low-and-slow cooking method, to the distillation cuts, the entire Santo production process is tuned towards preserving the traditional flavor of agave-forward tequila. Nothing is added to mask the agave flavor or to cover for using bitter, under-aged agaves or shorter aging periods in inferior casks.

“Our original Añejo release was a real winner – so much so we had two delivery trucks of our tequila stolen last year, including a private barrel selection of something very special: our first Extra Añejo,” Sammy Hagar, Santo Spirits Founder, said in a news release. “Guy (Fieri) and I have been working hard to get back on track since the theft, and as part of that recovery, we thought it was time to let a broader audience enjoy this precious extra aged tequila. 

“Those additional 17 months of resting in ex-bourbon barrels gives it an even richer, earthier flavor that is super agave forward, making our latest tequila an absolute powerhouse of a summer sipper.” 

With an SRP of $149.99 for a 750ml bottle, Santo Tequila Extra Añejo is available exclusively online at https://shop.santospirits.com/

Santo Spirits products are available nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico, as well as Mexico, Canada and Japan.
