Fortaleza Tequila Winter Blend Reposado

Description

This limited-edition Reposado emerges from Fortalezas heritage yet surprises with seasonal depth. A portion begins as Still-Strength Blanco (46% ABV) aged through double four-month fills in ex-Cream Sherry French oak casks. Then that liquid is artfully blended with reposado aged in ex-American whiskey barrels (3-month & 10-month lots), culminating in a seamless 46.5% ABV expression.

Stone-oven roasted agave, tahona crushing, open-air fermentation, copper pot distillation Fortaleza applies every time-honored technique with purpose.

The Winter Blend 2024 manifests the brands willingness to experiment while staying rooted in classic craftsmanship.

Its golden hue hints at the complexity inside. Layers of toasted oak, dried fruit, and subtle spice mingle over a base of warm cooked agave. A whisper of nutmeg, caramel, and cinnamon emerges, tempered by the richness of French oak and the backbone of American whiskey barrels.

Its made to be sipped, not rushed. Quiet evenings, slow tasting, or quietly showing off behind the bar this release invites you to slow the pace and reflect.
