Description

• Tequila Fortaleza was the first distillery to export their tequila to the United States and also had a major role in establishing the Denomination of Origin for Tequila. While the Fortaleza brand only launched in 2005, they family has 140 years of experience in the industry. This old world tequila uses blue weber agave that is then Horno cooked and Tahona crushed, keeping the traditional style alive. The agaves are 100% estate grown for 7-8 years and then aged in wood oak barrels for 2-3 years. This tequila has a floral, spicy and funky nose and an initial mouth coating richness. Butterscotch, caramel, citrus and hazelnuts dominate the palate, with the finish showing slight heat, as the bold and complex flavors end gently. This fine aged Tequila is definitely a sipper.
