Tasting Notes
Appearance
Rooster Rojo Reposado Tequila presents a distinctive golden hue with excellent clarity — the hallmark of a 100% agave tequila aged for a minimum of two months in used bourbon barrels with special toast casks and American oak, delivering the perfect balance of wood and agave character. Warm and immediately inviting in the glass.
Aroma
Slightly oaky and immediately appealing on the nose — ripe fruit adds a generous, fresh sweetness, with cooked agave providing the authentic, earthy backbone that defines great Reposado tequila. The special toast casks and American oak ageing deliver a light oakiness that is uniquely different from any other Reposado on the market, with a warmth and character that is both distinctive and inviting.
Palate
Vanilla and caramel lead on the palate with a wonderfully silky smoothness that heightens the taste buds with genuine pleasure — cooked agave weaves through with an authentic depth and richness that speaks to the quality of the 100% agave grown until maturity in the mineral-rich soils of Los Altos de Jalisco. Beautifully balanced between wood and agave character throughout.
Pairs With
Outstanding neat as a contemplative sundowner or over ice for a lazy afternoon siesta — equally exceptional as the base for a classic Margarita, Paloma, Fruit of Eden, Princess of Tulum, Stolen Kiss, Queen of Oaxaca or the summertime favourite Heart of Agave. The vanilla, caramel, ripe fruit and silky finish make this one of the most versatile and rewarding Reposado tequilas available for both sipping and mixing.
