The handcrafted glass guitar bottles are eye-catching, but it\u2019s the crisp distinct taste of Rock N Roll\u2019s three premium tequilas that will really knock your socks off.<\/p>\n

The company was founded by Santa Barbara local Andy Herbst<\/a>, an entrepreneur, surfer and soccer player, who came to the U.S. in the 1960s from South Africa and went to Santa Barbara High School<\/a> and Santa Barbara City College<\/a>, where he says he majored in surfing. After a successful career as a music promoter, Herbst traveled to the highlands of Mexico, where he was introduced to the smoothest, purest blue agave and soon turned his passion for tequila into creating his own label. His partners in the venture, which launched in 2017, include businessman Scott Woolley<\/a> and NFL great Dan Marino<\/a>, who played quarter\u00adback for the Miami Dolphins and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter tasting Rock N Roll Tequila, I knew it was a quality spirit, and I wanted to be a member of the team,\u201d says Marino. \u201cIt is great to be associated with a high-quality prod\u00aduct at a reasonable price, and it doesn\u2019t hurt to have an iconic name like Rock N Roll!\u201d<\/p>\n

Crafted by Master Distiller Jose Aceves, a third-generation tequila producer, Rock N Roll\u2019s 100% pure blue agave comes from deep in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The bottles, which feature a unique patented top known as the \u201croadie,\u201d provide the consumer a complimentary two shots of Platinum Te\u00adquila that come in three varieties:<\/p>\n

Platinum<\/strong>: Hand crafted, triple distilled, made with 100% pure highlands blue agave, giving it a delicious, smooth taste.<\/p>\n

Mango<\/strong>: Double distilled with 100% pure highlands blue agave and the highest-quality natural mango flavor, giving it sweet citrus notes and a super smooth finish.<\/p>\n

Cristalino: <\/strong>This A\u00f1ejo Tequila is barrel-aged for two\u2013three years and filtered to perfection, making it cleaner and healthier. Cristalino is also made with 100% pure highlands blue agave, featuring classic notes of French oak and vanilla.<\/p>\n
