Description
Fortaleza Blanco Tequila – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750ml
Pure, vibrant, and deeply traditional, Fortaleza Blanco Tequila is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of authentic, additive-free tequila. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this blanco expression highlights the true character of cooked agave, delivering a bold yet balanced tequila that appeals to both purists and collectors.
Process & Profile
Fortaleza Blanco is crafted using heritage tequila-making methods that prioritize quality over efficiency. Mature 100% Blue Weber Agave is slowly cooked in stone ovens, crushed with a traditional tahona stone, and naturally fermented with airborne yeasts. The spirit is double-distilled in copper pot stills and bottled without barrel aging, preserving the full intensity and natural oils of the agave.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, Fortaleza Blanco offers aromas of cooked agave, citrus zest, olive brine, and light herbal notes. The palate is rich and expressive, showcasing flavors of sweet roasted agave, black pepper, minerality, and subtle earthiness. The finish is clean and lingering, with balanced spice and fresh agave sweetness.
What Makes It Special
What sets Fortaleza Blanco apart is its stone-crushed tahona production, small-batch distillation, and commitment to traditional, additive-free tequila. Bottled at 80 proof, it delivers exceptional flavor and texture rarely found in modern blancos, making it a benchmark expression for agave enthusiasts.
How to Enjoy
Fortaleza Blanco is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its complexity. It also excels in classic cocktails such as a Blanco Margarita or Paloma, where its bold agave profile shines through.

Fortaleza Blanco
Can not add much to earlier reviews, except a very nice bite for a Blanco, and good enough you hate to mix with anything. A standard bearer.

Friend loved it
Bought as an anniversary present for my friend who had been waiting to try it for a long time, he was super excited! He loved it said it was very smooth. It was well packaged and protected, semi fast delivery since it was from Cali to OR. Only the bit sketchy thing was i thought it was going to be an actual delivery truck but it was more of a u-haul truck. They require an adult present for the delivery the time they were going to be here iwas at work so they were good about coming back at the time i requested for it to be delivered Will order again
