Fortaleza Reposado Tequila

Reposado. Fortaleza — the reposado expression from Fortaleza Distillery, resting the traditionally produced Tequila Valley spirit in American white oak barrels to add vanilla, caramel, and soft wood character while maintaining the earthier, more complex agave profile that tahona crushing and stone oven cooking produce.

The Fortaleza Reposado bridges the earthy complexity of the unaged Blanco and the deeper oak integration of the Añejo. The American oak rest adds the vanilla and caramel rounding that traditional tequila drinkers associate with reposado without overwhelming the agave character that Fortaleza's traditional production methods develop.

With 6 units in stock, the Reposado sits between the more available Blanco (18 units) and Añejo (19 units) in the current Wooden Cork Fortaleza collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
