Handcrafted with precision and passion by the esteemed artisans at Fortaleza, this Reposado Tequila is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. Carefully selected blue weber agave, harvested at the peak of maturity, undergoes a meticulous process of slow-roasting in traditional clay ovens, preserving the natural sweetness and complexity of the agave plant.
Following distillation in copper pot stills, the tequila is rested in American oak barrels, where it patiently matures for a minimum of six months, allowing the flavors to harmonize and evolve with each passing day. During this transformative aging process, the tequila absorbs the rich nuances of the oak, infusing it with hints of vanilla, caramel, and spice, while retaining the vibrant character of the agave.
With its inviting aroma of roasted agave, oak, and warm spices, the 2022 Fortaleza Winter Blend Reposado Tequila captivates the senses from the moment it is poured. On the palate, layers of flavor unfold gracefully, with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, and toasted almonds dancing across the tongue, culminating in a smooth, velvety finish that lingers like a fond memory.
