Fortaleza Blanco Tequila 70 cl

Product Information

Interesting fact: an old Sauza family distillery that was sold but the grandson, Guillermo Sauza has recently bought it and has up and running again, making tequila in the same way it was made over 100 years ago – with a small brick oven to cook the agave, a tahona to squeeze the juices out of the agave, wood tanks for fermentation, and the 2 original copper pots for distillation. Aromas of citrus and rich cooked agave fill your nose in this unique and very special blanco tequila. The aim at Fortaleza is to make Tequila using the methods of a century ago – small brick oven, tahona, fermentation in wood and copper pots – and the result is a blanco Tequila of uncommon complexity and character, with the unmistakable agave character amplified in this cask strength bottling.
