Rudo Añejo Tequila is a 100% Weber Blue Agave tequila inspired by the “Rudo” character in Lucha Libre, the brawler and rule-breaker of Mexican wrestling. It is double-distilled and aged for 18 months in American white oak barrels that were previously used in bourbon production. This aging process aims to impart a rich and smooth character with notes of the barrel.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Often features aromas of toffee, vanilla, and pepper spice. Some also detect praline, clove, and cooked agave.
- Palate: The entry is sometimes described as fruity with notes of white raisins and dried pineapple, leading to a spicy, piquant, and minerally midpalate. You can also expect flavors of caramel, cacao, and roasted agave.
- Finish: The finish is generally spicy and long-lasting, with lingering notes of vanilla, fruit, and spice. Some describe it as silky smooth and elegant.
Awards: Rudo Añejo Tequila has received recognition for its quality:
- Gold Medal at the Spirits of Mexico competition in 2013.
- Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2015.
This Añejo tequila is intended to be a smooth sipping tequila, best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in premium cocktails, embodying the bold spirit of its Lucha Libre namesake.
