It’s an entirely new way of enjoying tequila as this pioneering variant is the first\u00a0Smoked Pineapple infused tequila in the world.\u00a0Rooster Rojo’s Master Distiller experimented with various pineapples and different roast levels for over a year until the perfect variety and smokiness was found.

Blended with Rooster Rojo Anejo Tequila it gives an exceptional result: a smooth but subtle drink which can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, or in contemporary cocktails.<\/p>\n
