Maker:
Rooster Rojo tequila is produced at “Fabrica de Tequilas Finos” distillery, located in the city of Tequila, Jalisco state of Mexico, at the foot of Tequila hill. The plant started its operations in the year 2000, but is located in a beautiful old colonial building of 1923. Agave Rooster Rojo tequila is produced using only 100% Blue Weber agave. Agave comes from Los altos de Jalisco and Tequila region.
Distillery:
The pinas, arrive at the factory, are cut in parts of 2 or 4. Cooking is done in autoclaves with a help of the steam for 10 hours (no diffuser used). A special yeast is then added to the juice. The yeast has been used since the beginning of the factory operations and is a well-kept secret of the master distiller. Fermentation lasts up to 72 hours before the liquid can be distilled.
Double pot distillation is made in stainless steel pot stills that allow the preservation of natural flavours of the highest quality 100% agave. The water that’s used for Rooster Rojo tequila blending is filtered through Mexican silver, this makes the drink softer and smoother. Rooster Rojo is the first ever tequila brand to do so. Finally, the Reposado tequila is matured in big French oak casks for at least 2 months. Añejo is matured in 200-liter used American oak bourbon casks for more than 12 months.
