Every bottle is produced at Destilería La Fortaleza (NOM 1493) in Tequila, Jalisco, using the same traditional foundation, brick oven cooking, tahona stone crushing, open-air wooden fermentation, and copper pot distillation, so this collection is the fullest possible look at how time and proof reshape one family's tequila.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat's Inside the Collection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFortaleza Blanco\u003c\/strong\u003e is bottled unaged at 80 proof, capturing fresh-cooked agave with notes of citrus, olive, and black pepper. \u003cstrong\u003eFortaleza Reposado\u003c\/strong\u003e rests individually for approximately 7 to 9 months in used American oak, layering in caramel, vanilla, and light spice. \u003cstrong\u003eFortaleza Añejo\u003c\/strong\u003e ages roughly 18 months in American oak for a deep, rounded profile of caramel, butterscotch, and toasted oak. \u003cstrong\u003eFortaleza Blanco Still Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a different path entirely, bottled unaged and undiluted straight off the copper pot still at 92 proof, preserving the full intensity and texture of the raw distillate.
