Fortaleza Reposado Tequila – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750ml

Celebrated for its authenticity and traditional craftsmanship, Fortaleza Reposado Tequila is a standout expression of classic Highland tequila. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this reposado balances vibrant cooked agave with gentle oak influence, delivering depth, character, and exceptional drinkability for both purists and collectors.

Process & Profile

Fortaleza Reposado is produced using traditional methods rarely seen in modern tequila making. The tequila begins with mature 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Tequila Valley, cooked slowly in stone ovens to preserve natural agave sweetness. After fermentation with natural airborne yeasts, the spirit is double-distilled in copper pot stills and rested for approximately 6 to 9 months in American oak barrels. This aging period softens the agave while adding subtle oak complexity without overpowering the spirit’s natural character.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, citrus peel, and light oak. On the palate, Fortaleza Reposado is rich and smooth, showcasing flavors of sweet agave, caramel, baking spices, and hints of roasted nuts. The finish is clean and lingering, with balanced notes of oak, pepper, and gentle agave sweetness.

What Makes It Special

Fortaleza Reposado stands out for its stone-crushed tahona production, small-batch distillation, and minimal intervention approach. Unlike many modern tequilas, it is produced without additives, allowing the agave and barrel aging to speak for themselves. Its balance of freshness and oak makes it one of the most respected reposados among tequila enthusiasts worldwide.

How to Enjoy

This reposado is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its evolving flavors. It also elevates classic cocktails such as a Reposado Margarita or Tequila Old Fashioned, where its agave-forward profile and oak notes shine.
