Other Info: "Tequila Cabrón owes its name to the macho cabrio of a long horned
species that lives in North America. This species finds itself in danger of extinction, but
its bravery, fury, strength and valor is permanently represented in this Tequila product.
Its unique flavor, pureness, and rest, offers delight to the most demanding pallets who
search for the finest and smoothest flavor of a great Reposado Tequila.

There are numerous stories surrounding Cabrón. Personally, I have seen at least
three different bottles of Cabrón. Many people believe that two of these three bottles
are fakes. I hope to eventually acquire all three bottles but currently this is the only
bottle of this elusive tequila I own.
Pocotequila.com has the following story about Cabrón:
"This is a highly sought after bottle for collectors due to the fact that almost as soon as
it hit the market in Mexico it was pulled from the shelves. A while back I was given a
copy of an article from a Mexican newspaper about Cabrón from Tim Carter. It briefly
covered the details surrounding the extremely quick rise and fall of this controversial
brand. Evidently Tecabroniza, the producer of this tequila began to distribute the
product without permission or a registered trade name. In it's very short lived time in
the market it developed a large following and was very popular with many consumers.
The tequila was 100% agave Reposado and bottled in hand blown artisan vessels that
retailed for 220 pesos (about $25 US).
Lou Barton passed along the following information and insight about the name.
"Operations of Tecabroniza were shut down and all bottles destroyed the first week
the tequila was made. Cabrón has a double meaning in Spanish (male goat and a
slang meaning that can be offensive). This is not a word used to advertise anything in
Mexico because of the slang usage. The Mexican government did not want to have any
negative inferences on their national pride of tequila. The company's idea was that
since most male friends (amigos) always kiddingly address each other as "Cabrón" that
this would be a great advertising gimmick and would be very popular in Mexico. They
were actually correct, since I have experienced this with family and friends. A couple of
cases of Cabrón were exported to the US before the destruction. I was lucky to find
one."
