Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength

Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength offers a distinctive sensory experience, featuring vibrant aromas of ripe fruit, baked agave, green olive, and earthy notes. This expression presents a brighter, more rustic profile than the standard blanco, with pronounced flavors of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal hints. Its uniqueness stems from being bottled straight from the small copper pot still without dilution, preserving its full intensity. Traditionally exclusive to the distillery in Tequila, Jalisco, this 46% abv tequila is crafted using 100% stone-crushed agave cooked in a stone brick oven and double distilled in copper pots, fermented in open-air wooden tanks.

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.
