Cabo Wabo Reposado Tequila
Cabo Wabo Reposado is a 40% ABV, 750mL reposado tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave in the brand's fuller "Thick Cut" double-distilled style, then aged 4 to 6 months in American oak barrels. Sammy Hagar created Cabo Wabo in 1996 for his Cabo San Lucas cantina, and the reposado — gold in the glass, bold in the sip — is the expression that built its reputation. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Cantina Original, Rested in Oak
Cabo Wabo began behind the bar of Hagar's Cabo San Lucas nightclub, where he wanted a house tequila with more agave presence than the bottles on offer — hence the thicker distillate cut that defines the brand. Four to six months in American oak softens the edges just enough: the reposado keeps its bold agave core while picking up citrus, fruit and a peppery warmth. Wine Enthusiast scored it 94 points, praising its robust, addictive character.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Citrus over cooked agave and light oak. Palate: Fruit and spicy pepper with ripe orange and vanilla sweetness, butterscotch and honey depth. Finish: Raucous and smoky-edged, the pepper hanging around after each sip.
