Fortaleza Reposado Tequila
Sale price
$169.00
Regular price $165.00"Without question, one of the best tequilas ever made” Grover Sanschagrin / Founder, Tequila Matchmaker
Fortaleza Reposado Tequila is a benchmark of traditional craftsmanship and authenticity from the heart of Tequila, Jalisco. Rested in American oak barrels for six to nine months, this reposado captures the sweet spot between the vibrancy of a blanco and the complexity of an añejo. What makes it so good is the dedication to old-world methods: stone tahona-crushed agave, copper pot stills, and slow fermentation in open-air wood tanks—all housed at the iconic Los Abuelos distillery.
On the nose, Fortaleza Reposado bursts with aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, butterscotch, and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is lush and layered—think caramel, oak spice, roasted agave, and a gentle earthiness that lingers. The barrel aging adds depth without overpowering the agave’s soul, achieving a harmonious balance that many modern tequilas miss.
Its excellence lies in purity and patience. Nothing is rushed or industrialised. It’s made by the Sauza family’s fifth generation, and you can taste that lineage in every sip. In an age of mass-market tequila, Fortaleza Reposado remains a rare gem—uncompromising, handcrafted, and rich with the terroir of the Tequila Valley. For those seeking depth and authenticity, this is a must-have.
You simply cannot go wrong with Fortaleza Reposado. It’s popular with beginners and experienced tequila drinkers alike.
