Fortaleza Reposado Tequila 750mL is a handcrafted, small-batch tequila that beautifully bridges the vibrant freshness of a blanco with the depth and complexity of barrel aging. Produced at the Destilería La Fortaleza in Tequila, Jalisco, this spirit honors five generations of the Sauza family’s tequila-making heritage, using traditional methods unchanged for over a century.

Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, Fortaleza Reposado is slow-roasted in brick ovens, crushed by a volcanic stone tahona, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. It is then aged for 6 to 9 months in American oak barrels, developing notes of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch while maintaining its earthy core. Bottled at 80 proof, this reposado delivers an authentic sipping experience — rich, smooth, and true to traditional tequila craftsmanship.
