Fortaleza Blanco Tequila is a traditionally produced, additive-free tequila crafted at Tequila Los Abuelos in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco under Master Distiller Guillermo Erickson Sauza. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, slowly cooked in stone brick ovens for 36 hours and crushed with a traditional tahona stone, it's double distilled in copper pots and bottled unaged. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

A True Aficionado's Tequila

Fortaleza honors generations of tequila-making tradition, looking back to artisanal methods even as the industry has pushed forward. Every step, from the stone ovens to the tahona crushing and open-air wood fermentation tanks, is done the traditional way, resulting in a blanco built for sipping rather than mixing.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: citrus and rich cooked agave, with butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and a deep, inviting vegetal complexity.
• Palate: citrus, cooked agave, vanilla, basil, olive, and lime.
• Finish: long and deep, complex yet easy to drink.

How to Enjoy It

Sip it neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full complexity, though its quality also makes it a standout in a simple margarita or Paloma.
