I purchased this about a month ago and I feel it is decent for sipping but there was way too much pepper flavor for my liking so I ended up using it as a mixer and that worked fine.It is not oily and has almost no burn on the finish.I suggest trying it if you find some. I am still on the lookout for a great sipping blanco in my area.Of late I have really noticed blancos having lots of variation in taste from batch to batch.Let me know if you feel the same.
Cheers.

I found this tequila last night by accident so I picked it up and tried it at home and it does just fine as a sipping blanco tequila while watching a movie on a rainy/snowy night.It comes wrapped in a nice colored sack/bag and it is housed in a hand blown blue bottle.Upon initial taste it has a medium aroma of earth and a slight pepper scent.It has no oiliness on the tip of your tongue. There is a slight and I stress "slight" numbness and "slight" alcohol tinginess but nothing to scare you away from it.The finish is good for a silver tequila with no funky afterness and/or burning.this is a good blanco to try and enjoy in my book.

I picked this up seeing it was reasonably priced and how it came in a nice box and the hand waxed top is a very nice touch. I am very impressed. I favor blancos and this really blew me away. No surprises here but what you get is one of the best sipping tequilas you can ask for.The taste of agave is pleasant with an even more pleasant finish.No over peppery or limey flavors to offset the taste and no numbing on the finish.Please try it if you can find some you won't regret it.

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.

Being very new to the tequila game I am finding out in a good/bad way what I like and do not like in tequila tasting.Just coming back from Mexico with some higher end tequila brands I wanted to try the Patron brand.The blanco is a good start for a sipping tequila.There is a slight alcohol finish but nothing to be afraid about.I am finding myself more and more favoring the blancos over the anejos and reposados because of their "whiskey/bourbon" oak barrel flavors inherent to them.When you sip this tequila for the first time please make sure you let it roll around the front of your tongue for a sweet start and then let it go down for a clean finish containing those nice agave textures to do their thing.As tequilas get better and better those days of saying "down the hatch" are soon to be over.
