Cabo Wabo Tequila Reposado

This was one of the first 100% tequilas I tasted about 6 years ago, I thought it was great then. But after having a more experienced palette, I have a different opinion.

Aroma: I detected intense aroma of spice and hints of caramel and wood.
Initial Taste: Cabo repo has an oily mouth feel with initial taste of caramel and wood.
Body: Mellow agave followed by notes of fruit, caramel and spice.
Finish: No alcohol burn and a spicy woody finish of meduim duration.

Not my favorite repo for sipping. Maybe it would go better as a mixer.

Tasted in a caballito on April 2, 2008 showing thin lasting legs on the glass.

Cabo Wabo Reposado

Color: light golden hue
Aroma: hard cider
Taste: apple wood smoke taste with a light mouthfeel and tongue numbing bitter burn in the finish

A reposado with a burn of a blanco. Good for cocktails, but not one that I would buy to drink straight. My three favorite reposado at the time of this writing have to be Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo.

Cabo Wabo Reposado NOM 1467 Tasted 3/2/07. With a yellow golden color, Cabo Wabo Reposado has intense aromas of earthy and floral scents. Less apparent are mild smoke and spice aromas with a hint of caramel and vanilla. Upon initial taste, the tequila has an oily mouth feel and is soft and mellow on the tip of the tongue. Intense flavors of floral, fruit, and earth accents are followed by moderate agave and spice flavors. The finish consists of a hot tingly alcohol intensity and a medium duration of flavor. I rate this tequila at the B range.
