Cabo Wabo Tequila
Cabo Wabo 100% blue Weber Agave Tequila
The award winning Cabo Wabo Tequila shines with smooth, authentic flavour and unique personality; it is created with respect of the long-standing tequila traditions that made it the drink of choice of the wise and venerated mystics of Mexico. No shortcuts are taken in making Cabo Wabo, unlike other brands which legally mix up to 49% of fillers and still call their product “tequila”. Cabo Wabo Tequila was brought to life in 1996 on the back roads of Guadalajara, Mexico. After what seemed like eons of time searching for a tequila of good enough quality to serve at the Cantina and call his own, Sammy Hagar linked with a small Mexican Tequila maker that had been in operation since 1937. Sammy Hagar former front man of Van Halen, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a Although some of the players have changed since the birth and rise of Cabo Wabo Tequila, it continues to be grown and hand made by a well-established tequila family with deep roots in the tequila fields of Jalisco. In May 2007, Gruppo Campari announced the acquisition of a majority interest in Cabo Wabo Tequila. Cabo Wabo is distributed internationally, its main markets are: USA and Mexico.

The Blue Agave, A. tequilana, is a domestic species of agave that is descended from Agave angustifolia (Gentry 1982). Blue agave is culturally and economically significant because it is the only species of agave that can be used to produce tequila, which is certified by the Mexican government (NOM-006-SCFI-2012). Its sap is the main and defining ingredient of all forms of the alcoholic beverage and, “By federal law in Mexico, A. tequilana Web var. azul is the only variety of agave permitted for the production of any tequila (Gil Vega et al. 2001).” Source aol.org
