I just got word that today is National Tequila Day. On a Tuesday. Good job, National Tequila Day planners. It's not obvious at all you guys were dipping into your own supply when picking out the day to celebrate.

But should any of you choose to have a drink tonight in honor of this auspicious pseudo holiday I have the perfect tequila to do it with: Cabo Uno Añejo Reserva.

This is not margarita-mixing tequila. Or do-shots-until-one-of-us-is-hospitalized tequila. This is top of the line, ultra-premium tequila that is meant to be sipped, savored and appreciated. And it comes from Cabo Wabo, the company founded by a man who has spilled more tequila than any of us have ever drank, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Sammy Hagar.
Made in very limited batches from select 100% Weber Blue Agave, Uno is aged for 38 months in small, charred American white oak barrels that give the tequila just the right amount of wood flavor, mixing with hints of chocolate, caramel and roasted coffee. Meaning this tequila was created for slow sipping. Mixing in other ingredients to make a cocktail would be a crime. So much so that they even suggest forgoing the lime when drinking it straight.

The first batch just rolled out in March, and it gets special treatment in packaging as well. The lead-free crystal bottle that holds the tequila comes in a hand-made leather and wood presentation box, with a special crystal stopper attached in its own leather pouch. And at $225 a bottle you'll want to make sure you enjoy every drop.
