Fortaleza Lot 150 Blanco Tequila 750mL

Fortaleza Lot 150 Blanco Tequila marks a significant milestone in the storied history of the Fortaleza distillery, celebrating the 150th bottling run since Guillermo reignited the passion and tradition of his family’s 1903 boiler nearly two decades ago. This special edition not only commemorates a historic moment but also introduces a unique production method for the first time in the distillery’s recent history, showcasing the innovation and commitment to quality that Fortaleza is known for.

For Lot 150, the mosto (the juice extracted from the agave) was fermented along with the bagazo (the cooked and crushed agave fibers) in open-topped wooden vats, a technique that enhances the flavor profile of the tequila by incorporating more of the agave’s natural character into the final product. This method, rarely used in modern tequila production, pays homage to the traditional practices of tequila making, offering a deeper connection to the spirit’s cultural heritage.
