Fortaleza Tequila Blanco Still Strength 700mL

Nose

Roasted blue agave leads with intensity, followed by fresh citrus peel, white pepper, and a distinct mineral quality. Subtle herbal notes of green herbs and light floral hints emerge with time in the glass.

Palate

Full-bodied and concentrated, with cooked agave sweetness anchoring flavors of lime zest, jalapeño, warm earth, and toasted grain. The undiluted proof amplifies every layer, giving the palate a rich, almost oily texture that coats evenly.

Finish

Long and warming with a slow fade of roasted agave, cracked black pepper, and a clean mineral dryness. The heat is present but measured, giving way to a lingering herbal and citrus note.
