In 2000, when the family business was in the beginning stages of being resurrected, Fortaleza went under the name “Los Abuelos,” meaning “The Grandfathers.” It was a way of paying homage to the traditional methods used by previous generations to make tequila. Unfortunately, the company ran into a trademark issue in the United States. Ron Abuelo Rum was already established and prevented Los Abuelos from selling tequila using the near-identical name. That’s when Tequila Fortaleza was born for use in the international marketplace.

Es un añejo con mucho agave y con mucho cuerpo que deja que el agave brille pero con sabores que resonarán entre los amantes del bourbon.Fortalezawird von einem der großen Familiennamen in der Geschichte des Tequilas hergestellt. Fortaleza ist einer der wenigen traditionell hergestellten Tequilas, die noch nach dem Tahona-Verfahren hergestellt werden, um die Agaven nach dem Rösten zu mahlen. Derzeit gibt es nur noch wenige Hersteller auf dem Markt, die dies (glaubhaft und transparent dokumentiert) tun. Viele sind jedoch Mischungen aus Tahona und maschinell gemahlener Agave, da der Zeit- und Arbeitsaufwand für die Herstellung extrem hoch ist. Das Ergebnis des Produktionsprozesses bedeutet, dass jede nummerierte Flasche ein Unikat ist. In Spanish, the name Fortaleza directly translates to strength or fortitude. The brand’s moniker was inspired by the property’s original distillery. Destileria La Fortaleza was named by Guillermo’s grandfather, Don Javier. The Distillery Tour Is Highly Recommended Body: The complexities come out nicely. Wood, pepper and caramel notes compliment the strong agave taste. However, the aging keeps it mild and smooth with only a little bit of heat from the alcohol. Steve Reynolds, co-founder of Penta Tequila, agrees. “An añejo, for me, needs to have spice, mouthfeel and layers of character [that] you can only get with time and age in a barrel," he says. "There is a balance to the wood and toast for me that makes all things sing.” El final es largo, dulce y agradablemente cálido, con un poco de especias de roble, vainilla y caramelo.

Este es un gran trago bueno para los bebedores de todos los niveles y especialmente para los aficionados al whisky, ya que hay notas de cata que les resultarán familiares. Añejo translates to aged or matured tequila, and [said] aging is done in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, which imparts a lot of flavors to the spirit,” says Suyash Pande, head bartender at New York’s Baar Baar. Pande finds that añejo tequilas tend to be smoother than their counterparts, thanks to their one to three years of barrel aging. After the piñas are crushed, the agave pulp, or mosto, is extracted and naturally fermented over the course of five days in small, wooden vats before being double-distilled in copper-pot stills. The fermentation length, temperature and yeast affect the development of flavor compounds or congeners that produce a specific tequila style. Some producers add piña fibers called bagasse to the fermentation vessel to enhance the complexity of the spirit. Regulations demand that tequila be double-distilled in pot stills, or produced with a continuous still that has at least two columns. Finish: A nice, LONG finish that lingers on and reminds you how good it is. The tongue tingles from the pepper and slight alcohol heat.Tequila may have a wild and crazy reputation, but this unique spirit is created according to strict guidelines, guaranteeing authenticity and consistency.
