Description:
Fortaleza Tequila Blanco is a handcrafted spirit that captures the essence of traditional tequila-making. Produced in the heart of Jalisco using methods that date back over a century, it is made from 100% stone-cooked blue Weber agave, crushed by a tahona, and distilled in small copper pot stills. Unaged and bottled straight from the still, this blanco offers a pure and authentic representation of agave at its finest.

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of roasted agave are layered with citrus, black pepper, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it delivers bright notes of lime, vanilla, and olive, balanced with herbal tones and a hint of butter. The finish is long, smooth, and deeply satisfying, making it a standout blanco tequila.

Ideal Food Pairings:
Perfect alongside fresh seafood like ceviche or grilled shrimp, Fortaleza Blanco also pairs beautifully with grilled street tacos, roasted vegetables, and zesty guacamole. Its crisp profile cuts through spice and enhances vibrant, savory dishes.

Distillery History:
Destilería La Fortaleza is a fifth-generation family distillery founded in the late 1800s. Revived by Guillermo Erickson Sauza, a descendant of the original tequila pioneers, the distillery honors its legacy by using the same techniques and equipment as its founders. Each bottle of Fortaleza is a tribute to Mexico's storied tequila heritage and the dedication to preserving its craftsmanship.
