Description
Tequila Valley agave anchors Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength, made at NOM 1493 in Jalisco. Cooking takes place in stone and brick ovens. A stone tahona crushes the agave before open-air fermentation in wooden tanks and distillation in small copper pot stills. It is bottled directly from the still at 46% ABV, or 92 proof.
Ripe agave and fruit lead into earthy aromas, green olive, cut grass and minerals. The full-bodied palate carries agave sweetness, butter and olive. Vegetal notes and black pepper give that richness a savory edge. The finish is long and warming, with earth and pepper remaining.
Serve at room temperature in a tulip glass or copita, neat or with a splash of water. Pair with seafood ceviche or an orange slice dipped in cinnamon.
