PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila is bold and agave-forward — crafted more for the mixer than the sipper. Its profile shines when blended into cocktails, offering bright citrus and spice as a backbone to margaritas or palomas. If you're looking for a standout blanco to sip neat, more refined spirits might offer smoother complexity. But for flavorful, reliable cocktails with a rock-and-roll flair, this one hits the beat.
Created by rock legend Sammy Hagar, Cabo Wabo Blanco is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila. The agave is traditionally baked in a wood-fired adobe oven and double pot distilled, aiming for a rich and pure expression of the agave spirit.
A Gold Medal winner at the 2020 New York International Spirits Competition — a nod to its quality.
Proof: Standard bottling is 80 proof (40% ABV).
Appearance: Crystal clear — clean and unaged.
Nose: Pronounced with fresh agave, citrus zest, and a touch of pepper.<br>Some reviews add floral, mint, lime, and even smoky accents.
Palate: Bright and crisp. Tasting notes include agave, citrus, peppery spice, and clove tones — others also mention sweetness with mild bitterness, agave and clove.
Finish: Clean with lingering agave sweetness. Some tasters describe a medium warmth, pepper fade, or earthy undertones.
Tastings.com (April 2024) gave it an 88-point Gold Medal, describing a waxy, nutty, and vegetal aroma. The palate features agave, rye crackers, green pepper, and a butcher’s paper finish — noting that it shines best in cocktails highlighting its earthy character.
Liquor.com reviewers noted vanilla, black pepper, jalapeño, and lime on the palate. They described a quick heat that transitions to a peppery finish — calling it solid for cocktail use, but less ideal for neat sipping due to the burn-forward profile.
