Rooster Rojo Smoked Pineapple is a Mexican tequila from Jalisco, based on a distillate made from 100% blue Weber agave, enriched with an infusion of smoked red Spanish pineapple. Bottled at 38% ABV.

The brand is created by the Fabrica de Tequilas Finos distillery (now Amber Production Tequila) in the town of Tequila, at the foot of the Tequila volcano. The plant is housed in an old colonial building dating from 1923, and tequila production began here in 2000. The recipe is the work of master distiller Arturo Fuentes Cortes. Rooster Rojo is produced in small batches, and the water used to dilute the distillate is filtered through Mexican silver – the brand was the first to employ this technique.

The process begins with agave from the Los Altos highlands. Rooster Rojo is made from 100% blue Weber agave from the Los Altos highlands. After harvesting, the piñas are baked in autoclaves for 10 hours, then the company's proprietary yeast is added to the juice, initiating a 72-hour fermentation. The liquid is subsequently double-distilled in stainless steel pot stills. The base of this edition is a reposado tequila. Rooster Rojo Reposado rests for at least 2 months in bourbon barrels and is then enriched with an infusion of red Spanish pineapple, baked and smoked.

The profile is dominated by tropical fruit interwoven with smoke. The nose offers above all ripe, tropical sweetness – juicy pineapple whose natural tartness is softened by notes of caramelised sugar, complemented by a subtle smokiness reminiscent of roasted wood. On the palate, the reposado base gives gentle warmth and a hint of peppery spice, joined by a pronounced pineapple flavour balanced by an accent of smoke, while the mid-palate brings vanilla and caramel from the barrel; the finish is smooth and slightly dry, with long-lingering smoked pineapple and agave.

The way this edition is made is well captured by the image of fruit roasted over fire. This is not a sugar bomb dosed with artificial flavourings – it is more like grilling a slice of red Spanish pineapple over charcoal and steeping it in a barrel of tequila. It works well as the base for a tropical take on the classic Margarita and paired with grilled dishes.
