Fortaleza Blanco: The Tequila That Still Does It the Hard Way

Fortaleza Blanco

Fortaleza is made at NOM 1493 in Tequila, Jalisco, where Guillermo Sauza is credited with reviving his family's distillery. Retailer listings describe the process as traditional: agave cooked in a stone oven, crushed with a tahona (a large stone wheel), and distilled in copper pot stills.

Sip it neat, or use it in a margarita or paloma. Ceviche and grilled fish are easy food matches.
