Fortaleza Reposado
Few reposados carry the legacy and soul of Fortaleza Reposado, a Tequila, Jalisco expression crafted by the Sauza family at one of Mexico's most storied distilleries. This is a spirit that honors tradition at every step, from stone-crushed agave to hand-blown glass.
Produced at NOM 1493, known as Tequila Los Abuelos in the highlands of Jalisco, Fortaleza Reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber agave using a tahona wheel to crush the pinas before fermentation and distillation in small copper pot stills. The tequila is then rested in American oak barrels, allowing time to round and deepen its naturally expressive character. Verified Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker, it delivers exactly what the agave and the barrel intended.
- Nose: Warm cooked agave, sweet caramel, and a hint of cinnamon with an undercurrent of fresh herbal and grassy notes.
- Palate: Rich and inviting with buttery sweetness, cooked agave, caramel, and earthy depth, accented by black pepper spice and subtle leather and oak.
- Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering spice, soft oak, and a savory mineral warmth that fades gracefully.
Fortaleza Reposado shines in a classic Tequila Old Fashioned, where its oak and caramel notes come forward beautifully. It also elevates a Oaxacan-style Negroni variation or any cocktail calling for a spirit with genuine depth and backbone.
Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let its full complexity unfold. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Tequila, Jalisco, and presented in a signature hand-blown glass bottle that reflects the artisanal care behind every batch.
