"Aromas of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, and earth beckon with intrigue. Exuding a brightness and slightly more rustic tone than the regular blanco, the flavors of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal nuances stand out. This unique character is a result of the tequila coming directly from our small copper pot still, without the addition of water prior to bottling.
For many years, the sole avenue to experience this was a visit to our distillery in Tequila, Jalisco. Now, it's available beyond our distillery walls."
Balanced flavor profile with a smooth texture and subtle notes that reflect the spirit’s craftsmanship.
About Fortaleza
Tequila Fortaleza is a family-owned tequila brand rooted in over 150 years of tradition in Tequila, Jalisco. Although officially launched in 2005, its legacy dates back to 1873 when founder Don Cenobio Sauza established one of the region’s earliest distilleries and helped shape modern tequila production. Passed down through five generations, the brand honors its heritage by continuing to produce tequila using traditional, artisanal methods—such as brick ovens, tahona stone crushing, and copper pot distillation. Today, Fortaleza blends historical craftsmanship with a commitment to quality, preserving the legacy of its founders while creating authentic tequila.
