Tequila Fortaleza Blanco Strength
D.O Tequila
Description
Tequila Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength is the ultimate expression of pure blue agave, bottled directly from the copper pot still without dilution, at 46% Vol (92 Proof).
This artisanal tequila, produced in the Tequila Valley (Jalisco), represents the living heritage of the Sauza family, crafting spirits using the same methods as over a century ago. Slow cooking in masonry ovens and traditional milling with a volcanic stone tahona extract the purest juices from the agave. Its fermentation in open-air wooden vats and double distillation in small copper stills provide a rustic, vibrant, and exceptionally complex profile.
In the luxury and premium spirits sector, Fortaleza Still Strength is a coveted gem for collectors and purists. By not adding water before bottling, the essential oils and flavors of earth, green olive, and black pepper are intensified, offering an unctuous texture and a long finish. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking the authenticity of the Mexican terroir. Buying Tequila Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength is investing in a masterpiece of distillation, where each hand-blown bottle is unique.
