The 2021 Winter Blend is a special annual release created by blending traditionally aged Fortaleza Reposado with tequila matured in distinctive casks, adding additional depth while preserving the distillery’s signature cooked-agave character. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave using traditional production methods, this release showcases a rich combination of agave, fruit, sweetness, spice, and oak. Bottled at 46.3% ABV (92.6 proof), the 2021 edition was released in limited quantities and has become particularly desirable among collectors of older Fortaleza Winter Blend vintages.

The 2021 Winter Blend offers a complex balance of roasted agave and barrel influence. Aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, citrus peel, and baking spice lead into a rich palate of honey, butterscotch, ripe fruit, cinnamon, black pepper, and toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of sweet agave, caramel, fruit, peppery spice, and seasoned wood.
