Rooster Anjeo Tequila

Rooster Rojo Añejo is a 100% agave tequila from the Fábrica de Tequilas Finos distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. The agave is steam-cooked in autoclaves for around ten hours, fermented with a special yeast and double distilled in stainless steel pot stills. The spirit is then aged for more than 12 months in 200-litre used American bourbon oak casks, which gives it a deep amber colour and a rich, chocolatey character.

Before bottling at 38% ABV, it is brought down to strength with water filtered through Mexican silver. On the nose, vanilla fudge and coffee rise through roasted agave and fragrant tobacco, with a little milk chocolate beneath. The palate is rich and creamy, with citrus peel, honeyed apricot, dark chocolate and earthy, toasty agave, before brown sugar arrives on the finish. Enjoy it neat or in an Old Fashioned.
