Rooster Rojo Mezcal is handcrafted by Lopez Sosa Palenque in San Juan del Rio of Oaxaca, Mexico. The high altitudes of the Oaxacan mountains provide Rooster Rojo's Mezcal with enhanced flavour thanks to the better growth conditions of the agave and the greater fermentation coming from the region's heights. This 100% agave spirit is fermented in open wooden vats covered with agave fibres, distilled in copper pot stills sealed with local clay, and bottled in dark glass bottles to maintain its quality.
