Rooster Rojo Tequila Anejo offers a refined expression of tequila that balances tradition with approachability. Crafted in the lowlands of Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave, this anejo is aged for 12 months in ex-bourbon American oak casks, allowing it to develop a smooth, sweet, and lightly spiced profile while preserving the vibrant essence of the agave.
This tequila is bottled at 38% ABV, a thoughtful choice that creates a gentle warmth without overpowering the palate. It invites a steady flame and a slow finish, emphasizing flavor harmony over intensity. The result is a composed spirit that feels both accessible and sophisticated.
The nose reveals layers of soft caramel, warm vanilla, and roasted agave, complemented by subtle hints of orange peel, toasted oak, and dried apricot. On the palate, expect a smooth and relaxed experience with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, and nutmeg, uplifted by a fresh citrus brightness reminiscent of orange oil and charred peel. The oak influence adds texture and dryness without dominating, ensuring a balanced and elegant sip.
The finish is measured and medium-length, with gentle warmth and lingering flavors of vanilla bean, a hint of pepper, and just enough toasted oak to anchor the experience. This tequila is not about flash or showmanship; it is about delivering consistent quality and comfort in every glass.
Perfect for enjoying neat after a meal or as a versatile base for cocktails that benefit from aged character without overwhelming sweetness or heaviness. Rooster Rojo Anejo elevates classics like the Old Fashioned, Coffee Negroni, or an Espresso Martini with a subtle roasted edge.
