Sammy Hagar created this bang-up tequila while off-stage in Guadalajara and ultimately brought it back to serve at his nightclub, Cabo Wabo, in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. It's the genuine article, 100% weber blue agave, baked in wood-fired adobe ovens and double-pot distilled the old-fashioned way for a rich, soul-warming taste.
The Red Rocker's Reposado tequila has been barrel-aged in oak casks for 4 to 6 months. More aging means more flavor and a smoother style. The unique hand-blown Mexican blue glass bottles will be hard to throw away, even when they're empty.
Anthony Dias Blue of Bon Appetit magazine named Cabo Wabo Tequila one of the "Top Three Tequilas in the World", and The Rolling Stones carried off 12 cases after their Hawaiian tour. (Do we need more endorsement than that?)
