Rooster Rojo Anejo Tequila

Rooster Rojo is the tequila brand of Amber Beverage Group, the Riga-based spirits company that launched it in late 2017, made at Fábrica de Tequilas Finos, NOM 1472, a relatively small distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, under master distiller Arturo Fuentes Cortes. The Añejo is the oldest of the core range and follows the same house process: 100% blue Weber agave from the Los Altos highlands is cooked in steam autoclaves for around ten hours, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel for up to 72 hours with a proprietary yeast, and double distilled in stainless steel pot stills. It then goes into oak barrels for at least a year, the minimum the añejo category requires, where the Reposado's two-month rest only hints at the vanilla, caramel and spice that a full year of wood builds in. Before bottling the tequila is brought to proof with water filtered through Mexican silver, a technique the brand claims as a first for tequila and credits for a softer, smoother finish. Pour it neat or over a single large cube, or use it in a tequila Old Fashioned where the oak can carry the drink.
