Fortaleza Tequila Blanco Still Strength is an artisanal masterpiece that embodies the authentic, unadulterated character of Tequila Valley agave. Crafted with utmost care at NOM 1493, this tequila’s traditional production process—cooking in stone/brick ovens, crushing with a stone tahona, open-air fermentation in wooden tanks, and distillation in small copper pot stills—contributes to its distinctive profile. Bottled at a robust 92 proof (46% ABV) directly from the still, this expression preserves its natural intensity and depth, honoring the legacy of tequila-making in Jalisco, Mexico. The hand-blown Mexican glass bottle completes its artisanal aesthetic.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An inviting bouquet opens with fruity notes and the pure essence of fully ripened agave. Earthy undertones mingle with green olive, fresh-cut grass, and a hint of minerality, transporting you to the Tequila Valley’s terroir.

Palate: The full-bodied palate is an explosion of flavor, showcasing an enhanced agave sweetness with layers of butter, green olive, and earthy tones. Peppery spices and a touch of black pepper add complexity, while vegetal elements provide a refreshing edge. This is a richer, more rustic take on the classic blanco.

Finish: Long and warming, with an earthy, peppery linger that’s both bold and refined.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is an unaged blanco tequila made from 100% blue weber agave at Destileria Fortaleza (NOM 1493) in Jalisco, bottled directly from the still at 92 proof (46% ABV). The production reads like a roll call of traditional technique: agave cooked in stone and brick ovens, crushed with a stone tahona, fermented open-air in wooden tanks and distilled in small copper pot stills. In the glass, that shows up as ripe cooked agave, green olive, fresh-cut grass and a mineral streak on the nose. The palate is full and buttery, with earthy depth and black pepper, and the finish is long and warm. It is a richer, more rustic take on blanco, which makes it a fine bottle for the agave fan ready to go deeper and for collectors who want to taste traditional methods at full intensity. We carry it because it rewards slow sipping and puts the agave itself front and center.
