Sammy Hagar and Skyy to take Cabo Wabo Tequila across the globe. | | |
The world's most distinctive ultra-premium tequila, Cabo Wabo(R), has a new casa. Skyy Spirits, a Gruppo Campari company, is now the official marketer and distributor of the 100-percent blue agave Cabo Wabo Tequila line in the United States. The tequila portfolio, originally created by rocker Sammy Hagar, consists of Cabo Wabo Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, and ultra luxury Cabo Uno, and is now available through Skyy Spirits' nationwide network of distributors and wholesalers.
"Cabo Wabo Tequila is a real gem for our prestigious portfolio of vodkas, whiskies, rums, liqueurs and aperitifs," said Gerry Ruvo, president and CEO, Skyy Spirits. "With its strong bartender and consumer following and its exceptional quality, the Cabo Wabo Tequila line has tremendous growth potential as the category's original high-energy ultra-premium brand. We are excited to work with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame star Sammy Hagar to expand Cabo Wabo's reach across the country."
In the coming year, Skyy Spirits will support the growing Cabo Wabo Tequila super-premium brand with sales and distributor incentives; radio advertising and consumer promotions; and a full line of premium merchandising items. The company will also launch a consumer relationship program to develop a meaningful dialogue directly with Cabo Wabo's fan base, in addition to supporting Hagar's nationwide 2008 concert tour.
"When Sammy Hagar created Cabo Wabo, he never dreamed it would develop the following it has today," said Stephen Kauffman, president of Cabo Wabo. "Skyy Spirits' marketing expertise and outstanding network of distributors is the right combination to really raise Cabo Wabo to the next level, giving tequila enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the finest tequila ever created."
About Cabo Wabo Tequila
Cabo Wabo Tequila was originally created by Sammy Hagar to have a superior tequila to serve his friends and in his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A stickler for authenticity and quality, Hagar linked with a small Mexican tequila maker, the Rivera family, who had been creating exceptional, hand-crafted tequilas since 1937. Cabo Wabo is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave and comes in four different types including Blanco, Reposado, Anejo and Cabo Uno. It is acknowledged as one of the finest tequilas made today. Cabo Wabo continues to win top competitive tasting awards, recently receiving a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
While Skyy Spirits' parent company, Gruppo Campari, now owns a majority share in Cabo Wabo Tequila, Sammy Hagar continues to own a significant share in the brand and remains intimately involved in Cabo Wabo Tequila's quality guidelines, strategic development, and, of course, as its spokesperson.
