Cabo Wabo Tequila
Sammy Hagar's 100% agave tequila, poured in Commack since the 90s.
The story behind Cabo Wabo
Cabo Wabo was founded by Sammy Hagar in 1996, first mixed for his Cantina in Cabo San Lucas before it ever saw a retail shelf. It is made in the Jalisco Highlands under NOM 1440 at Destiladora San Nicolas, from 100% Blue Weber agave and nothing else. The pina quarters are steam cooked in stainless autoclaves, then double distilled in pot stills with a deliberately thick cut, so heads and tails stay in the heart. That is why the agave reads raw and peppery rather than polished.
Campari bought a controlling stake in 2007 and the rest in 2011. We have carried Cabo Wabo through every one of those ownership changes, and the liquid has stayed consistent.
