Fortaleza Blanco Tequila 750mL is a true expression of traditional, handcrafted tequila — pure, vibrant, and full of character. Produced in the historic town of Tequila, Jalisco, at the Destilería La Fortaleza, this small-batch spirit is made using 100% Blue Weber Agave, grown and harvested by hand from the family’s estate fields.

Each batch of Fortaleza Blanco is made following time-honored methods: the agave is slowly roasted in stone brick ovens, crushed with a volcanic stone tahona, and fermented naturally in open-air wooden vats before being double distilled in copper pot stills. The result is a beautifully balanced tequila that captures the pure essence of agave with earthy depth, citrus brightness, and a silky texture. Bottled at 80 proof, it’s an exceptional sipping tequila and a benchmark for authenticity.
