Rooster Rojo to launch award-winning Artisanal Mezcal into Australia

Abbie Weir, Australian Brand Ambassador for Rooster Rojo

Rooster Rojo is set to launch an exciting new product, Rooster Rojo Mezcal into Australia. Continuing Rooster Rojo’s popularity and growth, we are launching our next product, expanding the range of Tequilas into the wider world of agave spirits. With Rooster Rojo Mezcal, we have stayed true to our daring pursuit of bold flavours built on the back of an exceptionally smooth, easy-to-drink liquid profile.

Rooster Rojo Mezcal is a pure, easy-to-drink, traditionally hand-crafted Mezcal from Oaxaca. This authentic Mexican drink is created in the small craft distillery of Lopes Sosa Palenque in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Abbie Weir, Australian Brand Ambassador for Rooster Rojo, said: “We made our artisanal Mezcal using the same traditional production approaches but with modern flavours that showcase the best features of a Mezcal. We created something unique, inspired by the same philosophies as with our tequila range, an exceptionally smooth liquid that is bold, vibrant and very versatile for mixing.”

Rooster Rojo Mezcal has also won a distinguished Masters Award medal in the Tequila and Mezcal Masters by The Spirits Business.

The two panels of judges found this mezcal to be “elegant, but still full of personality”. They liked the “lighter floral esters complementing the rich, more vegetal notes. Lavender and thyme, with surprisingly subtle smoke.” To read the full article, click here.

Each bottle of Rooster Rojo Mezcal is signed by the Maestro Mezcalero (the master Mezcal maker), Rodolfo Lopez Juan, to authenticate it.

The dark, traditional, opaque bottle looks striking and has been designed to prevent the liquid from being affected by direct sunlight. The perfect serve for Rooster Rojo Mezcal can be enjoyed neat, at room temperature, and it can also be served in classic Mezcal cocktails like a mezcal margarita. Try our Mezcal Mango Margarita below.
