Introducing Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength), a remarkable expression that allows you to experience Fortaleza Blanco in its purest form. This exceptional tequila is crafted with the same dedication to tradition and quality as the original blanco, but with a higher proof, delivering an intensified flavor experience.
The production details of Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength) remain true to the brand's commitment to excellence. The agave used is sourced from the Tequila Valley, renowned for producing exceptional quality agave plants. The cooking process involves a stone and brick oven, imparting a unique character to the agave. The crushing method is 100% stone crushed, ensuring the extraction of the agave's full flavor potential.
Through double distillation in traditional copper pots, the tequila achieves a remarkable balance and smoothness. However, what sets Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength) apart is its proof of 92 (46% alcohol by volume). This higher proof allows the natural flavors to shine through, offering a bolder and more robust tasting experience.
During fermentation, the tequila rests in open-air wood tanks, contributing to its distinctive profile. The sugars used in production come exclusively from agave, ensuring an authentic and pure tequila expression.
Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength) has garnered acclaim from tequila connoisseurs. Described as "almost like you're getting Fortaleza Blanco direct from the still," this expression showcases the tequila in its unadulterated form. The absence of added water prior to bottling enhances the accents of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, and earth on the nose. On the palate, you'll discover vibrant notes of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and intensified vegetal qualities, creating a slightly brighter and more rustic character.
Previously, the opportunity to sample Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength) was limited to visiting the distillery in Tequila, Jalisco. However, now this extraordinary expression is available for enthusiasts around the world to enjoy.
Indulge in the pure essence of Fortaleza Blanco with Tequila Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength). Immerse yourself in the flavors of this exceptional tequila, meticulously hand-blown in Mexico, and experience the true artistry and passion behind every sip.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
