Fortaleza Blanco
From one of the most storied families in tequila history, Fortaleza Blanco is a benchmark expression that rewards slow sipping and honest appreciation. Master Distiller Guillermo Sauza revives centuries-old traditions at his Jalisco distillery to produce a blanco that feels both timeless and rare.
Crafted in the Tequila region of Jalisco using 100% blue agave, Fortaleza Blanco is made with a traditional stone tahona to crush the roasted pinas, followed by natural open-air fermentation and distillation in copper pot stills. The result is an unaged tequila of extraordinary depth and authenticity, bottled in a hand-blown glass bottle and verified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker.
- Nose: Cooked agave, fresh yeast, warm butter, and a bright lift of citrus.
- Palate: Sweet cooked agave opens the palate, giving way to black pepper, briny vegetal character, citrus zest, and a smooth, buttery mouthfeel with notes of minerality and salinity.
- Finish: Long and satisfying, with a well-oiled mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness that invites another sip.
Fortaleza Blanco shines on its own over a large ice cube, but its savory depth and citrus brightness also make it a standout choice in a classic Margarita or a Tommy's Margarita.
Best served neat or on the rocks to honor its traditional production. Made from 100% blue agave, distilled in the Tequila region of Jalisco, NOM 1493.
