  Item no.: 22227865479-18900

  A two-ton stone wheel still crushes the agave at Guillermo Sauza's distillery in the town of Tequila – exactly as his family has done it for generations.

  Expert Description

  Fortaleza Blanco Tequila is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 40%.

  Fortaleza is the work of Guillermo Erickson Sauza, a descendant of Don Cenobio Sauza, who founded Sauza Tequila in 1873. In 2005, Guillermo revived his family's old distillery in the town of Tequila, reintroducing traditional methods: the agave is cooked in brick ovens, crushed with a two-ton stone tahona wheel, and fermented naturally in wooden vats before double distillation in copper pot stills, with no additives. The Blanco is bottled straight after distillation, preserving its raw agave character without any barrel influence.

  Lime zest and white pepper, with a mineral scent of wet stone and a touch of tropical fruit.

  Finish

  Lightly spiced and faintly smoky, with herbaceous notes of oregano and cumin.
