Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength Forty-Six 700 ml

Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength Forty-Six is an expressive, traditionally produced tequila bottled directly from the still at 46% ABV without adding water before bottling. Produced at NOM 1493 in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco, Fortaleza makes this 100% agave tequila using old-world methods designed to preserve the character of fully matured agave.

The agave is cooked in stone and brick ovens, crushed entirely by stone, fermented in open-air wooden tanks, and double distilled in copper pot stills. At 92 proof, Forty-Six offers a brighter, more concentrated interpretation of Fortaleza Blanco, emphasizing cooked agave alongside savory olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal notes.
