Fortaleza Tequila Añejo is a 100% agave, small-batch expression crafted with traditional methods—stone ovens, copper pot stills, and natural fermentation. Aged about 12 months in oak, it delivers a refined, aromatically rich profile with a warm, balanced character. Expect roasted agave, vanilla, caramel, orange zest, and cocoa on the nose, followed by baked agave, toffee, dried fruit, and spice on the palate, finishing smooth with subtle oak influence. Best neat or on the rocks; holds up well in premium cocktails that need nuance.
