Rooster Rojo Tequila Blanco: A Taste of Agave Sunshine in Every Sip

Hailing from the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, Rooster Rojo Tequila Blanco embodies the essence of a classic Blanco tequila. Crafted using 100% Blue Weber agave, this silver spirit boasts a clean, crisp profile that celebrates the natural sweetness of the agave plant alongside hints of citrus and a touch of peppery spice.

Unveiling the Rooster Rojo Blanco

Aroma: The initial impression is one of freshness, with vibrant notes of sweet lime and grapefruit zest. A subtle earthiness emerges, hinting at the roasted agave hearts at the spirit's core. As the tequila opens up, a touch of black pepper adds a hint of complexity, creating a well-rounded and inviting bouquet.

Palate: The first sip delivers a burst of flavour, dominated by the sweet, cooked agave character. Hints of citrus dance on the tongue, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the agave's natural sugars. A subtle grassy note emerges, adding depth and complexity. The black pepper from the nose translates onto the palate, providing a gentle warmth that lingers on the finish.

Finish: The finish is clean and crisp, with the agave sweetness gradually fading, leaving behind a lingering touch of peppery spice.
