Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength Tequila (75cl, 46%)

Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength is an occasional limited release bottled at the natural proof of the copper pot still distillate, uncut and undiluted at 46% ABV. It is the same tahona-produced, stone-oven-cooked Tequila Valley spirit as the standard Fortaleza Blanco, presented at the proof it comes off the still. The higher proof intensifies the roasted agave, black pepper, mineral earth and olive note, with a fuller mouthfeel. The nose brings intensified roasted agave, baked fruit, green olive, earth and black pepper, followed by a fuller palate of butter, olive, earth, black pepper and vegetal agave, and a long, dry, peppery finish.
