When I first heard about this tequila I shuddered. The industry was now officially becoming so commercial that a tequila was being named after a Cabo San Lucas night spot founded by none other than the boys from Van Halen. Sammy Hagar calls it "Vitamin T" and claims his search for the finest tequila is over. The bottle pictured above is how the brand looked when the reposado first hit the market and the graphics have since been changed. Twice. I remember giving Sammy Hagar credit for being a reposado man but after all, it's the tequila business so a few years later blanco and añejo versions of Cabo Wabo was released. Actually I've always liked Cabo Wabo Reposado. It has all the things I like in a reposado. It has a light straw color, is very smooth and has good agave roots. The Cabo Wabo brand remains very popular and has sort of a cult following with some tequila drinkers.

There are no "buy" links on this page because of this older bottling but Cabo Wabo in the current bottles can be found in most markets and on-line retailers links are provided on the previous page.

Up until April of 2002 the only Official Cabo Wabo Tequila Web Site was at Sammy Hagar's Site: http://www.redrocker.com/tequila.html. After checking out the Original Cabo Wabo Tequila Ad displayed there one gets the impression that Sammy likes to drink his tequila with a little silicone and lime.

The Current Importer of Cabo Wabo tequila, Wilson Daniels, Ltd., also has a pages and downloadable Sell Sheets. - http://www.wilsondaniels.com
