Rooster Rojo Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Rooster Rojo Añejo is a 40% ABV añejo tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave. It is double pot-distilled at the Fábrica de Tequilas Finos in Tequila, Jalisco, and rested for a minimum of 12 months in 200-litre used American oak ex-bourbon casks. The añejo is bottled in a hand-painted ceramic rooster bottle. The agave piñas are steam-cooked for 10 hours, fermented with a proprietary yeast and double-distilled in stainless steel pot stills. The extended barrel rest gives a deep amber colour and notes of chocolate, tobacco and coffee over the cooked-agave core. On the nose there is oak, chocolate, tobacco and coffee. The palate brings caramel, roasted agave and vanilla with warm barrel spice, and the finish is smooth and long with lingering vanilla and oak.
