Santo Puro Mezquila

Crafted in Jalisco and Oaxaca, Mexico, Santo Puro Mezquila is a hybrid agave spirit created through a collaboration between rock legend Sammy Hagar, chef Guy Fieri, and third-generation master distiller Juan Eduardo Nuñez. Recognized as the world's first commercially produced "Mezquila," this innovative expression blends 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco (Agave tequilana) with 100% Espadín Agave Mezcal from Oaxaca (Agave angustifolia). The Tequila component provides bright, floral citrus and crisp agave sweetness, while the Oaxacan Mezcal delivers earthy complexity and delicate wood smoke. Double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills and expertly blended, Santo Puro Mezquila offers a rich, smooth profile that captures the herbal freshness of Tequila alongside the gentle mesquite smoke of Mezcal.

Food Pairing: Grilled pork carnitas, spicy fajitas, fish tacos with chipotle crema, ceviche, roasted poblano peppers, or dark chocolate with sea salt.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with brilliant clarity, a silky medium body, and smooth, clean tears.

Nose: Fresh and highly aromatic, opening with vibrant cooked agave, crisp lime zest, and floral honey, accompanied by delicate mesquite smoke, white pepper, and light herbal accents.

Palate: Smooth, balanced, and round on the palate, featuring caramelized agave nectar, bright citrus oils, and sweet tropical fruit upfront before unfolding into soft wood smoke, cracked white pepper, light herbal tea, and wet stone minerality.

Finish: Medium-long, clean, and crisp with lingering notes of sweet agave, gentle oak smoke, zesty lime pith, and a warming peppery lift.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass or traditional clay copita, or as a versatile, smoky foundation for craft cocktails like a Mezquila Paloma, Margarita, or Old Fashioned.
