Few anejo tequilas carry the weight of history that Fortaleza does. Produced at one of the oldest family distilleries in the Tequila region of Jalisco, this expression from fifth-generation master distiller Guillermo Sauza is a slow, deliberate study in tradition.

Fortaleza Anejo is aged more than one year in American oak barrels, allowing the rich, hand-crafted character of this 100% agave tequila to deepen into something truly exceptional. Verified Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker, every bottle is hand-blown glass, a nod to the artisanal spirit that defines this Jalisco distillery.

• Nose: Inviting aromas of cooked agave, caramel, butterscotch, and warm butter open alongside toasted oak and a whisper of cinnamon.
• Palate: Roasted agave leads the way, layered with baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, warm vanilla, a curl of smoke, and sweet honey.
• Finish: Long and satisfying, with toasty oak giving way to a smooth close of cooked agave, black pepper, and creamy butter.

Fortaleza Anejo shines served neat or on a single large rock, though its depth of flavor also makes it a show-stopping choice in an Old Fashioned or a Tequila Manhattan.

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full complexity. Made from 100% blue agave, distilled in the Tequila region of Jalisco, Mexico, under NOM 1493.
