Fortaleza Añejo is a beautifully matured tequila that exemplifies traditional craftsmanship and depth of flavor. Produced at NOM 1493 in the Tequila Valley, this añejo is made from 100% Blue Weber agave and crafted using old-world methods that honor the heritage of true tequila making. Aged for 18 months in American oak barrels, it delivers remarkable richness while preserving the integrity of cooked agave.
Agave is slowly cooked in stone and brick ovens, then crushed using a traditional stone tahona. Fermentation takes place in open-air wooden tanks, followed by double distillation in copper pot stills using natural spring water from the Tequila Valley. Bottled at 80 proof and presented in hand-blown glass bottles made in Mexico, Fortaleza Añejo reflects patience, precision, and authenticity at every step.
