Rooster Rojo Reposado 70 cl 38%

At the foot of the Tequila volcano in Jalisco, a rooster stands as the brand mark, and the water is filtered through real Mexican silver – Rooster Rojo does things its own way.

Expert Description

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

Rooster Rojo is distilled at Fabrica de Tequilas Finos in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, in an old colonial building dating back to 1923, where production began in 2000 under master distiller Arturo Fuentes Cortes. The blue Weber agave is cooked in autoclaves, fermented for up to 72 hours and double-distilled in copper-coil stainless steel stills. As one of the very first tequilas to do so, Rooster Rojo is blended with water filtered through real Mexican silver, before the Reposado expression rests for at least two months in French oak barrels.
