Fortaleza Reposado Tequila, 70 cl

Product Information

The finish lingers, with a pleasant warmth that spreads to your chest, featuring notes of blue agave, pineapple, caramel, and oak. Don Javier bought a piece of land in the town of Tequila so he could build a hacienda on the highest point of town, overlooking his rival’s distillery. The balance between the subtle oaky flavor and complementary mixers and garnishes is achieved through precision and a master blender's expert palate. Each bottle is hand-blown by artisan glassmakers and topped with a handmade cap designed to resemble the heart of the agave plant making a good token. During his time, Don Eladio brought the nectar of the gods to the world, under various names such as Mexican brandy, Mexican whiskey, tequila, and as an aperitif.

Fortaleza Reposado Tequila : The Whisky Exchange

The sweetness and savory notes of this Tequila are perfectly balanced, and the oak flavor is prominent while the vanilla flavor is kept to a minimum. The finish is medium to long, with a pleasing warmth that complements the rich flavors of agave, oak, vanilla, and a subtle hint of black pepper. Smooth and herbaceous, tonic helps bring out the more complex and oily citrus notes of this impressive, peppery spirit.The insights I’ve gained aren’t just from books or hearsay; they are the result of hands-on experience, countless tastings, and an enduring passion for these spirits. Fortaleza launched in 2005, but Guillermo Sauza's family have been making tequila for five generations going back to Don Cenobio who is said to have been the first person to export “mezcal de tequila” to the United States, shorten the name to simply 'Tequila', use steam to cook the agave rather than an earthen pit, and specify Blue Agave as the best to use. It’s made with the Blue Weber agave, a plant that takes between five and eight years to fully mature.
