Fortaleza Tequila has been crafted by five generations, and has over 150 years of tequila making behind their brand. Don Javier, the third generation of tequila makers, was most known for leading the charge to establish the Denomination of Origin for tequila.
Fortaleza tequila is made the same way it was over 100 years ago - with a small brick oven to cook the blue agave, a tahona to squeeze the juices out of the agave, wood tanks for fermentation, and the 2 original copper pots for distillation.
Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave aromas practically jump from the glass in this highly-praised and perfectly aged anejo. This tequila is so rich and complex that some people are even able to detect pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg and raisin in the nose.
Once in your mouth, the full cooked agave experience continues with a thick and oily texture that coats your mouth in a very soothing way. Butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus and hazelnuts are common flavors that people identify.
Fortaleza Anejo is a prized treat for any tequila lover.
