Fortaleza 4-Bottle Tequila Collection 700ml

Product Description

The Fortaleza Tequila Collection: Every Core Expression in One Set

The Fortaleza Tequila Collection brings together all four defining expressions from fifth-generation tequila maker Guillermo Erickson Sauza in one complete 700ml set: Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Still Strength. 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.

What's Inside the Collection

Fortaleza Blanco is bottled unaged at 80 proof, capturing fresh-cooked agave with notes of citrus, olive, and black pepper. Fortaleza Reposado rests individually for approximately 7 to 9 months in used American oak, layering in caramel, vanilla, and light spice. Fortaleza Añejo ages roughly 18 months in American oak for a deep, rounded profile of caramel, butterscotch, and toasted oak. Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength 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. Together, the four bottles cover the complete spectrum from unaged to fully rested, and from standard proof to still strength.

Why the 700ml Size Matters Here

Every bottle in this collection comes in the 700ml international format rather than the 750ml size more commonly found in the U.S. Since all four are already sought-after individually, calling out the format clearly here helps collectors know exactly what they're getting across the full set.

Tasting Notes

Fortaleza Blanco: Citrus and cooked agave on the nose, with butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal complexity on the palate.

Fortaleza Reposado: Citrus, caramel, and cooked agave on the nose, with vanilla, apple, earth, and cinnamon on the palate.

Fortaleza Añejo: Caramel and butterscotch on the nose with baked agave and vanilla, giving way to roasted agave, baking spices, and honey on the palate.

Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength: Fruit, baked agave, green olive, and earth on the nose, with butter, olive, black pepper, and vegetal notes intensified by the higher, undiluted proof.

Food Pairings

Pour the Blanco with ceviche or grilled shrimp tacos, the Reposado alongside carnitas or mole-glazed chicken, the Añejo with flan or dark chocolate mole, and the Still Strength with bold, smoky fare like charred street corn or grilled skirt steak.

Serving Suggestions

Taste all four side by side, moving from Blanco to Still Strength to Reposado to Añejo, to feel how both aging and proof shape the same base spirit. The Blanco and Still Strength shine in a Margarita or Paloma, the Reposado works well in a Tequila Old Fashioned, and the Añejo is best sipped slowly on its own.
