If we are talking about tequilas, we could not recommend any other brand than the big gun Rooster Rojo. They have already earned the appreciation of tequila fans with several of their batches, such as the Rooster Rojo Smoked Pineapple Tequila, which is a true delicacy with the excellent harmony of pineapple and smokiness. However their basic batches also represent high quality, such as the Rooster Rojo Blanco or the Reposado or just the Anejo, these also stand out on the market. However now they have moved away from tequila and made another Mexican wonder, which is none other than the Rooster Rojo Mezcal. Mezcal unfortunately does not enjoy as much fame as tequila, however according to us, more light could be cast on this wonderful drink type. The Rooster Rojo also thinks so, and this is why they made this drink, with traditional methods but a modern approach. It is made in the Lopes Sosa Palenqui distillery located in Oaxaca, where it goes through double distillation, in copper-still distillers sealed with local clay, and for the fermentation open wooden vats covered with agave fibres are used. This distillery has been making mezcal for generations, they have plenty of professional experience and dedication to the drink, it is very important for their community, which is also shown in the end result. And the agave grown at high elevation for 7 years is the best quality, which is indispensable for achieving the special and premium flavours. The makers were capable of creating something lasting in the field of mezcal too after tequila. The flavours wonderfully bulge out in the drink, at the same time it has a silkily soft texture and remains a traditional and powerful mezcal. Every bottle of the Rooster Rojo Mezcal is signed by Rodolfo Lopez Juan, who is their mezcal master, ensuring that the distillate is of premium quality and has gone through the proper production processes. Another interesting thing about the bottle is that it models an authentic clay bottle, which prevents direct sunlight from reaching it and "bad eyes" from seeing it. Mezcal is an important part of Mexican culture, which is saved for special occasions or events, such as weddings, child births, family meetings. The Rooster Rojo is the perfect choice for mezcal newcomers, since it will turn our heads with such incredible flavours that it will definitely chain us to itself and we will dive head-first into the sea of mezcals, but it will also bring a satisfied smile to the faces of mezcal fanatics. Incredible work and expertise is behind the making of the Rooster Rojo Mezcal and we can be sure that it is worth every effort, since they have succeeded in enclosing in a bottle an exceptionally, modern, ultra-premium-quality, at the same time authentic mezcal, from every sip of which we feel ourselves on the lively and bustling streets of Mexico.
