Fortaleza Tequila Anejo 750ml
Product Details
Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave aromas practically jump from the glass in this highly-praised and perfectly-aged añejo. This tequila is so rich and complex that some people are even able to detect pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin in the nose.
Once in your mouth, the full cooked agave experience continues with a thick and oily texture that coats your mouth in a very soothing way. Butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts are common flavors that people identify.
Fortaleza Añejo is a prized treat for any tequila lover.
Our agaves come from the heartland of tequila, known as Tequila Valley, in Jalisco, Mexico. We allow them to grow and mature for at least 8 years before they are harvested. The agave that grows around our distillery are very sweet and mineral-rich, and have a lot to do with the signature aromas and flavors inside of Fortaleza tequila.
Our tequila is 100% stone crushed. Using a “tahona” (a large round 2-ton volcanic stone) pulled by an electric tractor (which took the place of our mule after he died) all of the agave fibers are crushed in a stone pit inside of our distillery. In this step the sugars are separated from the fibers of the plant so that the fermentation can fully occur.
Fermentation is done in wood open-air tanks. Using a special yeast that has been in our family for generations, we allow it to do its job: eat sugars, and produce alcohol.
Fortaleza is distilled twice in traditional copper pot stills. These stills have been in place since the distillery was built more than 100 years ago, and they bring a certain amount of “magic” to the process.
Aged for 18 months in American Oak
