Bold, expressive, and uncompromising, Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength Tequila showcases tequila in its purest form.

It is a favorite among enthusiasts seeking authenticity and powerful agave character.

Process & Profile

Produced using time-honored methods, Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength begins with mature 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Tequila Valley. The agave is slowly cooked in stone ovens, crushed using a traditional tahona stone, and fermented with natural airborne yeasts. Distilled in small batches using copper pot stills, this tequila is bottled at still strength, meaning it is not diluted down to standard proof, allowing the true essence of the distillation to shine.

Tasting Notes

The nose is vibrant and aromatic, offering intense cooked agave, citrus zest, olive brine, and herbal notes. On the palate, the tequila is rich and mouth-coating, delivering flavors of sweet roasted agave, black pepper, minerality, and subtle earthy undertones. The finish is long, warm, and complex, with lingering spice, agave sweetness, and a refined heat that reflects its higher proof.

What Makes It Special

Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength stands apart for being bottled directly from the still at 46% ABV, preserving its full flavor and natural oils. Its traditional tahona-crushed production, additive-free profile, and limited availability make it one of the most sought-after blanco tequilas in the world. This expression offers a rare opportunity to experience tequila exactly as it comes off the still.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tequila flute or copita, allowing the spirit to open up over time. A few drops of water can soften the heat and reveal additional layers of citrus, herbs, and minerality. This tequila also excels in elevated cocktails where bold agave flavor is desired.
