With its higher proof and unfiltered nature, Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength offers a bold and authentic tequila experience that is unrivaled in intensity and flavor.

Pure Craftsmanship: Crafted using time-honored methods passed down through generations, Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength begins with hand-selected mature agave plants, harvested at peak ripeness from the family estate in Jalisco, Mexico.

Notes of baked agave, citrus zest, and peppery spice dominate the palate, while hints of earthiness and minerality add depth and complexity. The higher proof amplifies the intensity of the flavors, creating a tequila that demands to be savored and appreciated.

Whether sipped neat to fully experience its raw power, or used as the foundation for your favorite cocktails, it brings a new dimension to any drinking experience.
