Fortaleza Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A traditional, unaged tequila crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the historic Tequila Valley of Jalisco, Mexico. Produced at Destilería Los Abuelos under Guillermo Erickson Sauza, it reflects a family heritage in tequila-making dating back to the nineteenth century. Mature agave hearts are slowly cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens, crushed using a volcanic stone tahona, fermented in open-air wooden tanks and double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled at 40% ABV without oak maturation, it is presented in hand-blown Mexican glass. Aromas include rich cooked agave, fresh citrus, butter, green olive, earthy mineral notes and black pepper; the palate combines vibrant lime, sweet agave, subtle vanilla, basil, olive and fresh herbs.
