Fortaleza Blanco Tequila

Fortaleza Blanco Tequila

Fortaleza Blanco is widely considered the gold standard for artisanal, additive-free tequila. While many modern brands have moved toward industrial efficiency, Fortaleza (known in Mexico as Los Abuelos) still uses methods from the late 1800s.

The Artisanal Profile

Fortaleza’s flavor is defined by its “old-world” production:

The Tahona: The agave is crushed by a 2-ton volcanic stone wheel (tahona), which preserves more of the agave’s natural fibers and oils than modern rollers.

Open-Air Fermentation: Fermented in open wooden vats, allowing local wild yeasts to influence the flavor.

Small Copper Pots: Distilled in tiny copper stills that emphasize texture and “funky” vegetal notes.

Abv: 40%

Lot No: 181 – B
