Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is unaged tequila made from 100% blue weber agave by Destilería Fortaleza in Jalisco, Mexico, handcrafted in small batches and bottled at 40% ABV. With no barrel involved, what you taste is the agave itself. The nose opens with vibrant citrus and rich cooked agave, then butter, olive, earthy tones and black pepper. The palate adds basil, smooth vanilla and a touch of lime. That savory, vegetal streak gives it a depth you notice from the first sip. It rewards slow sipping neat, which makes it a strong pick for anyone who wants to understand what a traditional blanco tastes like. It also gives seasoned agave drinkers plenty of nuance to chase through a long, well-balanced finish. It earns its place behind the bar too, where its citrus and olive notes make a bright Margarita or a savory Tequila Martini. We carry it because it shows how much character an unaged tequila can hold while still drinking smooth and easy.
Pairs well with
- Fresh citrus ceviche — The tequila's zesty citrus and touch of lime echo the bright, lime-cured fish.
- Marinated olives and cheese — Its olive, butter and herbal basil notes line up naturally with a savory snack board.
- Margarita night with friends — Its citrus-forward profile and vegetal complexity make it an ideal base for classic Margaritas built with fresh lime juice.
