Fortaleza Tequila Reposado 750 ml

Fortaleza Añejo is a traditionally crafted 100% agave tequila produced at NOM 1493 in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco, Mexico. Made using old-world production methods, Fortaleza slowly cooks mature agave in stone and brick ovens, crushes it entirely with a traditional stone tahona, ferments in open-air wooden tanks, and double distills in copper pot stills.

The añejo is matured in used American oak barrels, allowing the rich character of cooked agave to remain prominent while developing layers of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, fruit, and toasted nuttiness. Bottled at a verified 40% ABV (80 proof), Fortaleza Añejo combines substantial barrel character with the earthy, agave-forward personality for which Fortaleza is known.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch layered with hints of pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin.

Palate: Rich cooked agave with butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnut, carried by a full, oily texture.

Finish: Long and rich, with lingering cooked agave, caramelized sweetness, citrus, and nutty oak character.
