Rooster Rojo Anejo 70 cl 38%

Behind the walls of Fábrica de Tequilas Finos in the town of Tequila sits a colonial building from 1923, its thick stone walls holding on to stillness. Here, Rooster Rojo's barrels are left long enough for the agave to change character – from fresh and green to dark, round and spiced.

Expert Description

Rooster Rojo Añejo Tequila is a Mexican Añejo Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 38%.

Rooster Rojo was founded in 2000 and distills at Fábrica de Tequilas Finos in the town of Tequila, Jalisco – a colonial building from 1923 that today houses production of the brand's entire range. The line is built around three classic styles: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo, all made from 100% blue agave. The Añejo expression stands apart with a minimum of 12 months' ageing in oak barrels, giving it a darker colour and a deeper, rounder character than the younger expressions in the range.
