Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength is the purest, most uncompromising expression from one of Mexico's most revered traditional distilleries — bottled straight from the still at 46% ABV, exactly as it comes off the copper pot still with no dilution. If you were to visit the historic La Fortaleza distillery in Tequila, Jalisco and taste the unaged soul of their craft directly from the still, this is it. Produced using 100% Blue Agave and the same time-honored methods — stone tahona wheel crushing, open-air fermentation, and copper pot distillation — that have defined Fortaleza for generations. Overflowing with tropical fruit and cooked agave richness at a naturally higher proof. Bottled at 46% ABV.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Full-bodied and coating with tropical flavors, rich cooked agave, citrus, and a beautifully balanced complexity — the 46% ABV delivering more intensity and texture than a standard blanco
• Finish: Long, warm, and deeply satisfying with lingering agave sweetness and tropical fruit
