Fortaleza Anejo Tequila

Fortaleza Añejo Tequila is prized by connoisseurs for its traditional production methods and complex flavour profile. Made by Guillermo Erickson Sauza from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave in the town of Tequila, it begins with agave slow-cooked in brick ovens and crushed by a stone tahona, before fermentation in wooden vats and double distillation in small copper pot stills.

The spirit is then aged in American oak barrels, developing a thick, oily texture. The nose offers caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave, while the palate brings butterscotch, caramel and toffee balanced by citrus brightness and hints of hazelnut. The finish is long and layered, with agave sweetness, soft spice and lingering oak. Bottled at 40% ABV, this Añejo is best savoured neat.
