    La Fortaleza

  • ABV:

    40%

  • Age:

    18 Months

  • Price:

  • Raided Score: 86
  • Publication: Tequila Raiders
  • Excerpt: Sweet on the palate, but not cloying. Lots of nice toffee, apple, honey, agave and pepper. Fresh sourdough crust, faint earthiness. Coats the palate nicely. Excellent flavor. I really like this. I'm hesitant on most Repo/Anejo because I typically enjoy the base spirit too much, but this is deserving of no doubt. A really nice blend of agave character and some barrel influence. Big fan.

  • Publication: Distiller
  • Excerpt: The aroma lures you in with notes such as roasted pears, vanilla, toast, and citrus zest. Moderately tannic, medium bodied, fresh and lush with tons of agave sweetness. This is a VERY impressive offering that helps lift the reposado category out of the margins.

  • Intro:

    Distilled by Fortaleza and aged for 18 months in American Oak, Fortaleza Reposado is a well aged tequila. This is Lot 69 (nice). Let's get to it.

  • Nose:

    Rich and roasty, full of flavor. Honey, tobacco, robust agave sweetness, some caramel and honey. Faint oak, some cinnamon. Wholly pleasant.

  • Taste:

    Sweet on the palate, but not cloying. Lots of nice toffee, apple, honey, agave and pepper. Fresh sourdough crust, faint earthiness. Coats the palate nicely. Excellent flavor.

  • Finish:

    Long, sweet and rich. Lots going on here, with plenty of barrel influence shining through, without obfuscating the agave character.

  • Overall:

    I really like this. I'm hesitant on most Repo/Anejo because I typically enjoy the base spirit too much, but this is deserving of no doubt. A really nice blend of agave character and some barrel influence. Big fan.
