Fortaleza, launched in 2005, has a rich history in tequila production. The Cenobio family has been at the forefront since the 1860's, exporting tequila to the United States. Today, the family still upholds traditional artisanal methods at their century-old hacienda in the Tequila Valley, resulting in some of the finest tequila expressions available.
Experience a taste of traditional, time-honored tequila with Fortaleza. Unlike other brands focused on efficiency, they take pride in their small batch, slow production process. Their agave matures for a minimum of 8 years before harvesting, ensuring a subtle and mineral-rich flavor profile. The agave is carefully cooked in stone ovens and crushed using a tahona mill. After fermentation in wooden open air tanks, the tequila is double distilled in copper pot stills and then the Añejo is aged for 18 months in American oak for a truly authentic flavour.
Tequila doesn't get much better than this.
Tasting note
The intense scents of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave are immediately present in this top-rated and expertly aged Añejo. Its complexity is so remarkable that one may even discern subtle hints of pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin. The full cooked agave experience continues in the mouth with a luscious and velvety texture that provides a soothing sensation. Tones of butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts are also common.
