Rooster Rojo Mezcal 43% 700ml offers a refined expression of traditional Oaxacan craftsmanship, expertly balancing authenticity with versatility. Crafted from 100% Espadin agave grown in the rich soils of Oaxaca, this mezcal embodies the region’s heritage through time-honored production techniques. Mature agave hearts are slow-roasted in underground pits, crushed using a tahona stone, and open-fermented with native wild yeasts, ensuring a depth of flavor that honors the terroir.
Distilled twice in copper pot stills, Rooster Rojo preserves the integrity of the agave, resulting in a clean, focused spirit with a robust yet approachable profile at 43% ABV. The aroma reveals classic roasted agave intertwined with subtle wood smoke and delicate herbal undertones. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of cooked agave sweetness, vibrant white pepper spice, and a bright flash of citrus, complemented by earthy mineral notes that reflect the volcanic spring waters used in production.
The finish is clean and lightly smoky, never overwhelming, allowing the agave’s natural character to shine through. This mezcal is crafted for both neat enjoyment and as a sophisticated base for contemporary cocktails, making it a versatile addition to any collection.
