Fortaleza Tequila Blanco 750 ml

Fortaleza Blanco is an unaged 100% blue agave tequila made in the town of Tequila the way the category worked a century ago. The Sauza family's fifth generation cooks agave in stone-and-brick ovens, crushes it with a volcanic tahona wheel, ferments in open wood tanks, and runs everything twice through small copper pot stills at NOM 1493. Nothing else goes in — no glycerin, no coloring, no sweetener — and the glass shows it: cooked agave, lime peel, black pepper, a faintly briny olive edge, and a long, dry fade. Bartenders treat this bottle as a benchmark blanco for good reason. Sip it neat at room temperature first; save the margarita for the second pour.

How to drink Fortaleza Blanco

Sip it neat at room temperature first to taste what tahona-crushed agave actually delivers, then save a pour for a Tommy's Margarita.
