Time for some cock-a-doodle-dope Tequila.
Master Distiller Arturo Fuentes Cortes has been producing proper Tequila for a while, diligently working on the perfect recipe. Growing up in the shadow of the Tequila volcano in the town of Tequila, it was only natural. Once he had captured the true essence of Mexico in Spirit form, all he needed was a brand. Enter Rooster Rojo, the red rooster, a symbol of Mexico. Locally-crafted from the finest agave juice, Arturo's Tequila is lovingly made at the Fabrica de Tequilas Finos distillery that operates from an old colonial building.
There could be no premium Tequila without the best ingredients and a healthy sprinkling of love and tradition. 100% blue Weber agaves from the Los Altos region are first cut and cooked for 10 hours in autoclaves with the help of steam. After the juice is fermented with the distiller's special yeast strain (a secret, naturally!) the liquid gets distilled twice in stainless steel pot stills. Here's the kicker: The distillate then gets filtered through Mexican silver, making it super smooth and a little bit fancier to boot! This Reposado expression spends at least 2 months in French oak barrels to give the fruitiness a snazzy oaky layer. Sip it or mix it, this Tequila doesn't mind either way.

Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.
Tequila goes bad with time! Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidation and evaporation diminish the quality of the Tequila and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.

If the Tequila bottle label does not state that it’s manufactured from 100% Blue Agave, then, by default, that Tequila is a Mixto (manufactured from 51% Blue Agave).

In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
There are over 136 species of Agave. For Tequila to be officially called “Tequila,” it must be comprised of at least 51% of the Blue Weber Agave species.
