Tequila Reposado
Tequila Fortaleza // Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Fortaleza Reposado Tequila is produced at NOM 1493 in the Tequila Valley in the town of Tequila, Jalisco (known as Los Abuelos outside of the U.S.) using traditional methods.
The agave is hand-harvested, roasted in stone/brick ovens, and crushed using a tahona. Fermentation takes place in open-air wooden vats using natural spring water before the tequila is double distilled in copper pot stills. Each lot is aged individually in American oak barrels for approximately 7 months prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes
"Upon first whiff, the aroma lures you in with notes such as roasted pears, vanilla, toast, and citrus zest. Cinnamon, oak char, bananas and warm cream follow soon after. No surprises on the palate as you are piqued with notes of much of the same along with clotted cream, pineapple, sage and black pepper. Moderately tannic, medium bodied, fresh and lush with tons of agave sweetness. This is a VERY impressive offering that helps lift the reposado category out of the margins."
