Sammy Hagar's Cantina Tequila, Grown Up
Hagar started Cabo Wabo because the tequila at his Cabo San Lucas cantina wasn't good enough — he went looking for a richer, fuller-flavoured spirit and had it made his way, with a thicker cut of the distillate that keeps more of the agave's weight. The Anejo takes that bold base and gives it a year or more in American oak, rounding it toward vanilla, caramel and honey without losing the agave punch. It later became part of the Campari portfolio, but the cantina-born recipe never changed its stripes. Find it among our tequila range, browse the wider spirits shelf, or see the brand on the Cabo Wabo vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vanilla and caramel over cooked agave. Palate: Woody depth with honey and chocolate notes in a bold, smooth body. Finish: Long, delicate and smooth.
How to Enjoy
On the rocks or neat as a rock-and-roll sipper; it also brings real depth to an añejo Old Fashioned.
