Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri continue their spirits partnership with the launch of their latest offering from their Santo Spirit line.

Following the release of Santo Tequila Blanco is Santo Tequila Reposado. Compared to a Tequila Blanco, a Tequila Reposado ages months longer in oak barrels before it is bottled.

Per the Santo website, “Our reposado begins in the barrel using our amazing blanco to get the process started. The blanco is rested in lightly charred used American oak bourbon barrels for four to five months. After resting, the blanco is now transformed into our reposado. This critical time in oak imparts incredible flavors which creates a smooth, easy drinking tequila. Sammy started out years ago with only a reposado and created a sensation with a great brand all of his fans and aficionados of tequila will surely remember. You’ll see he’s still got it when you taste this wonderful reposado.”

Santo Tequila Reposado retails for 54.99 and can be purchased at ShopSantoSpirit.com.

7 Cocktails/Liquor Brands Associated with Rock Stars

• Sammy Hagar – Cabo Wabo Tequila

  Share

  Hagar arguably started the very popular trend of rock stars with their own liquor brands. Even though the Red Rocker has launched a number of different spirit labels, Cabo Wabo Tequila was his first, and it made him a very rich man. Hagar has since sold all of his stake in the brand, but when he first sold 80 percent of Cabo Wabo to Gruppo Campari in 2007, he earned $80 million.

• “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott – Black Tooth Grin

  Share

  Dimebag's signature drink featured two shots of Seagram's 7, two shots of Crown Royal and a splash of Coca-Cola. Basically, it'll get you to where you need to go and then some.

• Lemmy Kilmister – Jack and Coke

  Share

  How synonymous was Lemmy with the iconic Jack and Coke cocktail? Shortly after the Motorhead frontman died, an online petition went viral trying to get the drink renamed to "The Lemmy."
• The Rolling Stones – Tequila Sunrise

  Share

  The orange juice/Jose Cuervo/grenadine cocktail was introduced to Mick Jagger during a private party hosted by famed promoter Bill Graham. After that, it became the "unofficial cocktail" of the Stones' 1972 tour in support of 'Exile on Main Street,' and the rest is history.

• Janis Joplin – Southern Comfort

  Share

  Janis Joplin was so public with her love of Southern Comfort that it caused an increase in sales, which resulted in the company sending her a lynx fur coat as a "thank you."

• Freddie Mercury – Stolichnaya Vodka/Cristal

  Share

  Mercury's two drinks of choice, Stoli and Cristal, are just another part of his legend. Queen launched the limited edition Killer Queen Vodka in 2014. In the announcement of Killer Queen, Brian May said, "Freddie loved vodka and used to carry a dry ice cooler full of vodka with him on tour." As for the Cristal, that was Mercury's favorite champagne and would stock his fridge with dozens of bottles of it for parties.
• Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society – Johnnie Walker Black Label

  Share

  An obvious association, especially regarding Black Label Society's debut album 'Sonic Brew,' which featured the design of Johnnie Walker's Black Label Whisky label and bottle. Wylde, however, didn't get permission to use the Johnnie Walker imagery and was served with a cease and desist.
