Rooster Rojo Tequila is crafted at the renowned “Fabrica de Tequilas Finos” distillery, which is located in the charming city of Tequila in the Jalisco state of Mexico. This distillery has been in operation since 2000, bringing together the rich traditions of tequila production with a modern approach to create exceptional spirits.
One of the aspects that make this distillery stand out is its location in a historic colonial building that dates all the way back to 1923. As a sommelier and brewer, I appreciate the fusion of history and craftsmanship that is embodied in this distillery. It is always fascinating to step into a space that carries so much history and witness the transformation of raw materials into exquisite tequila.
When I first visited the distillery, I was immediately captivated by the atmosphere. The old building exudes a sense of timelessness and authenticity, creating a perfect setting for the art of tequila making. The distillery itself is meticulously designed to ensure the highest quality standards are met throughout the entire production process.
As I walked through the distillery, I observed the various stages of tequila production, from the harvesting of the blue agave plants to the fermentation and distillation processes. Each step is carefully executed by a team of skilled artisans who possess a deep understanding of tequila production.
The dedication to craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the distillery. The use of traditional stone ovens for baking the agave hearts, known as piñas, ensures that the tequila retains its distinctive flavor profile. The piñas are slowly cooked to extract the sweet juices that will ultimately be transformed into tequila.
After the piñas are cooked, they are crushed to extract the sugary juice. This juice is then fermented using natural yeast, allowing for the development of unique flavors and aromas. The fermentation process is closely monitored to ensure the desired characteristics are achieved.
Once fermentation is complete, the liquid undergoes distillation. The distillery utilizes modern copper stills, which play a crucial role in refining the tequila and removing any impurities. This careful distillation process results in a smooth and refined spirit that showcases the true essence of the agave plant.
Rooster Rojo Tequila is a testament to the expertise and passion of the distillery team. They have perfected the art of tequila making, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to create a tequila that is both authentic and innovative.
