Fortaleza Blanco 700 ml

Fortaleza Blanco is unaged, 100% Blue Weber agave tequila made the way the category worked before industrial production took over. At Destilería La Fortaleza in the town of Tequila, agave is cooked in stone-and-brick ovens, crushed under a volcanic tahona wheel, fermented in open wood vats, and distilled twice through small copper pot stills — with nothing added afterward. The result is cooked agave and lime peel up front, black pepper and wet stone underneath, and a dry, faintly briny fade. Bartenders reach for this bottle as a benchmark blanco, and it holds up neat as easily as it does in a margarita. Built for anyone who wants to taste agave first.

How to drink Fortaleza Blanco

Sip it neat in a copita first — tahona-crushed agave shows best without dilution. When it does go into a cocktail, keep the recipe simple: a Tommy's Margarita with fresh lime and agave nectar lets the spirit lead instead of hiding behind triple sec.
