The History of Cabo Wabo
Cabo Wabo Tequila was created in 1996 by legendary musician Sammy Hagar, best known as the former lead singer of Van Halen. Hagar fell in love with Cabo San Lucas, Mexico during a trip in the 1980s and decided to open a nightclub there. He named it Cabo Wabo and eventually decided to create his own tequila brand.
The first batch of Cabo Wabo Tequila was produced in 1996 and quickly became a hit among tequila enthusiasts. In 2007, Hagar sold his stake in the brand to Campari Group, but has remained involved in the production process and marketing of Cabo Wabo.
The Production Process of Cabo Wabo
Cabo Wabo Tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is harvested by hand and cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. The cooked agave is then crushed and the juice is fermented for 7-10 days using a proprietary yeast strain.
After fermentation, the tequila is distilled twice in copper stills to create a smooth and flavorful spirit. Cabo Wabo Reposado and Añejo are aged for 4-14 months and 1-5 years respectively in oak barrels before being bottled.
