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.

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.
