Fortaleza Anejo Tequila, 70 cl

Product Information

Nevertheless, today this company is back to tradition in its production and produces the highest quality and most delicious tequilas.

Having only launched the brand Fortaleza in 2005, there is still over 140 years of history behind it.The agave notes in Fortaleza are bold enough to be able to withstand heavy oak aging, resulting in a tequila that is still able to balance vanilla, sweet spice, and tannins from the wood with cooked agave notes. Launched in 2005, Fortaleza Tequila is relatively new to the industry but has 140 years of history behind the brand, with the current owner's great-great-grandfather, Don Cenobio, founding his first distillery – La Perseverancia – in 1873. It takes around 4 hours to load the agave piñas by hand into the huge 15-ton capacity brick oven with its metre-thick walls. Some slight spike in alcohol mid palate that turns to roast agave sweetness, a great tongue tingling finish that fades to that slight bitter remnant.

Don Cenobio was the first person to export ‘mezcal de tequila’ to the US, implement the use of steam to cook agaves instead of earthen pits which were used at the time and founded his distillery La Perseverancia in 1873! Its a little known fact but if you have ever wondered why there is currently no Extra Anejo expression from Fortaleza it is because they used it experimentally as a blend with the Anejo batch 42-a and 43-a.The cooked agave are then unloaded by hand and crushed by the traditional tahona stone mill to release the pulp and juices.
