Fortaleza Añejo Tequila is a highly-praised and perfectly-aged añejo from Destilería La Fortaleza in Jalisco — made in the same way tequila was made over 100 years ago, using a small brick oven to cook the agave, a tahona to press the juices, wood tanks for fermentation, and the two original copper pot stills. The result is a tequila of extraordinary richness and complexity: caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and cooked agave aromas that practically jump from the glass, and a thick, oily, soothing palate of butterscotch, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts that speaks of genuine craft and a family legacy stretching back to 1873.

Appearance

Deep, warm amber — the rich, inviting colour of a traditionally produced añejo tequila aged to genuine complexity and depth.

Aroma

Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and cooked agave aromas practically jump from the glass — rich, complex, and immediately captivating. Those who spend time with the nose may also detect pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin weaving through the bouquet in layers of extraordinary depth and intrigue.

Palate

The full cooked agave experience continues on the palate, with a thick and oily texture that coats the mouth in a deeply soothing way. Butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts are the defining flavours — rich, layered, and long, with a finish that lingers with the warmth and complexity of a tequila made without shortcuts.

Serving Suggestions

Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube, where the full complexity of the añejo can be appreciated without distraction. Also exceptional in a premium Tequila Old Fashioned (Fortaleza Añejo, agave syrup, Angostura bitters, orange twist) where the caramel and vanilla character shines. A tequila of this quality deserves to be sipped, not mixed.
