https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=3429 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=3429 Have loved Cabo Wabo since the 90's. I first tried it at a Sammy Hagar (Wabos-post VH) concert circa 1996. The stuff is just a solid tequila, from the aroma (citrusy) to the finish (nice smooth agave with sweetness). Doesn't have any harshness and it's not one of the "earthy" blancos, which I don't care for. This one is my "go-to" for shots and it's cheap enough (but high quality) to make good drinks with. If this one is on hand at a bar, I will never ask for Patrón. Good stuff! ]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:59:17 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=3043 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=3043 It was good but not great/terrible. ]]> Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:18:06 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2014 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2014 Got a nice deal on a 750ml bottle of Cabot Wabo Blanco for around $40, the initial aroma is a smooth hint of spice. Upon recommendation from a friend, I tried the Blanco chilled, took down the burn of the tequila, which even at room temp, was not too bad, and gave it more of a citrus-pine taste. The other benefit to serving Cabo Wabo Blanco chilled was it took away the after-burn. It's a decent tequila, wouldn't be my first choice in a Blanco, but I'm sure it good for mixing drinks and shooters and the price isn't terrible. Best Blanco I've had so far would still be the Don Julio Blanco. ]]> Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:16:37 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1625 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1625 The Sammy Hagar connection is for the man has a passion for all he does..The Cabo Wabo blanco has a nice flavor of agave when it hits the tip of your tongue. I did not notice any oily texture mixed in. No alcohol taste anywhere. Forget the connection to Rock&Roll if thats an issue. Give it a shot :0 chance. Priced well. Label/Bottle - nice "hint of old west" on the bar look..

I think this one would be better served as a mixer rather than neat. Aroma: A nose of alcohol and sweet floral. Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel, upon entry its sweet with slight bitterness and slight alcohol burn. First taste is clove. Body: A body of very subtle body of agave, with notes of smoke and earth. Finish: An interesting 'nutty' finish, slightly heated of medium duration. The lingering taste was 'nutty'. A first for me. ]]> Fri, 05 Dec 2008 21:09:06 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=619 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=619 Cabo Wabo Blanco is a decent un-aged tequilla. I would say it has an average flavor but it finishes pretty smooth with a slight alcohol burn. I personally would probably choose to sip on a tequila with a little more flavor but overall it's pretty good. ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 12:00:39 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=563 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=563 Tequila Cabo Wabo Blanco NOM 1467. I purchased this bottle for 42.00 at the local ABC store. Aroma-nose isn't bad, high spicey, sweet and earthy. A clean slight meds/hospital element to it. First taste is harsh agave, high olive, cloves and hot alcohol. Body is medium to syrupy. Raw and sweet green, this tequilas balance is on the bold side. Moderate to high bitterness with alcohol burn upon swallowing but strangely little to no numbing or tingle to the finish. Overall impression in taste and smell is an overwelming prolonged alcoholness with an unpleasent bitter aftertaste. Everthing about it is on the weak/mild side except the alcohol. I'm sure this blanco appeals to many, and I am a big fan of Sammy Hagar, but when comparing it side by side with better blancos it comes up sorely lacking in many ways. Of all the blancos I own I like this one the least. Presentation is nice but the cork separated from the top when I originally tried to open it. ]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:03:13 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=496 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=496 This was one of my starter premium tequilas from many years ago, I always thought it had a distict spice flavor to it and is good ina cocktail. About average for a sipping tequila. ]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:17:54 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=297 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=297 Now this is a good place to start when trying out new types of tequila.There seems to be two distinct camps when Cabo Wabo tequila is being reviewed.The first group is complimentary and the second is well you know, not so nice.I will make this as painless as possible.I LIKE blanco tequilas.I feel they are the flagship model for all new tasters to the world of tequila.Reposados and anejos are fine but to really understand what tequila is all about you must start at the source.Never mind the Sammy Hagar connection because that's all incidental to giving a fair review.The Cabo Wabo blanco has a nice flavor of agave when you let it sit on the tip of your tongue.It DOESN'T have an oily texture mixed in it like alot of others do.There is pretty much no alcohol taste anywhere which is a big plus.It finishes very nicely leaving you with a "where did it go?" sensation as if you sipped from an empty glass.So give this fella a fair chance.You may just become a new fan. ]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:09:53 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=169 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=169 Cabo Wabo Silver - NOM 1467 - Tasted 2/14/07. With a clear color, Cabo Wabo Silver has intense aromas of earthy and floral scents. Less apparent are moderate spice and mild smoke and fruit aromas. Upon initial taste, the tequila has a thin mouth feel and is soft and mellow on the tip of the tongue. Moderate flavors of agave and earth accents are followed by mild floral, fruit, and spice flavors. The finish consists of almost no alcohol intensity and a short duration of flavor. I rate this tequila at the ?B? range. ]]> Sun, 27 May 2007 06:39:04 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=72 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=72 I was hesitant about Cabo Wabo tequila, after all what does Sammy Hagar know about making tequila, so I just ordered a shot at a restaurant to try it. Wow, was I surprised. The aroma hit me hard with agave, and the taste and feel came along to support the nose. I was drinking tequila and eating crow at the same time. After a bit of research, I found that Sammy had fallen in love with an artesanal tequila that was out of business by the time he was ready to invest. He took a sample around to a dozen or more small tequilerias to find someone who made or could make something similar. The plan was to serve it in his cantina in Cabo, but he ended up liking it enough to bottle and gain wider distribution. I have not tried the repo or anejo versions, but the silver is great and a good buy in the $35 to $40 range. I plan to buy a bottle soon. Con mucho gusto, Buzz ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:56:09 +0000
