Fortaleza Blanco 700 ml

Fortaleza Blanco is a traditionally crafted 100% Blue Weber agave tequila produced at NOM 1493 in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco, Mexico. Unaged and bottled at a verified 40% ABV (80 proof), this blanco showcases the character of mature agave through Fortaleza’s deliberately old-world production methods.

The agave is slowly cooked in a traditional stone oven, crushed using a two-ton volcanic stone tahona, fermented in open-air wooden tanks, and double distilled in small copper pot stills. Natural spring water from the Tequila Valley is used in production, helping create a distinctly agave-forward tequila with citrus, earth, olive, pepper, and vegetal complexity.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright citrus and rich cooked agave accompanied by butter, green olive, earth, black pepper, and fresh vegetal aromas.

Palate: Cooked agave and citrus lead into vanilla, basil, olive, and fresh lime, balancing savory and lightly sweet flavors.

Finish: Long, deep, and complex, with lingering agave, citrus, earth, and savory character.
