Tequila Fortaleza Añejo is a gem in the world of spirits, reflecting the Mexican artisanal tradition. Production is led by Guillermo Erickson Sauza at the La Fortaleza distillery, using centuries-old methods and rejecting modern industrialization. The blue agave, grown in volcanic soil, is harvested at its optimal point after 7 to 8 years. It is cooked in stone ovens, crushed with a tahona, and fermented in wooden tanks, yielding a unique aromatic profile. Double-distilled in copper stills and aged for 18 months in American oak barrels, it is characterized by its purity and complexity, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and spices. Best served neat to enjoy its aromatic and taste richness, perfect with desserts or medium-bodied cigars.
