A true collector's milestone, Fortaleza Blanco Lote 100 is a limited-edition release from one of Jalisco's most storied distilleries that sold out within hours of its debut. Guillermo Sauza's commitment to traditional production, including stone tahona crushing, natural fermentation, and copper pot stills, makes this blanco tequila as rare as it is remarkable.


Crafted at NOM 1493 in the highland town of Tequila, Jalisco, Fortaleza Blanco Lote 100 is made from 100% blue agave using time-honored methods passed down through generations of the Sauza family. Every detail, from the hand-blown glass bottle to the additive-free spirit inside, reflects a dedication to authenticity that defines this release as something genuinely special.


  • Nose: Cooked agave, warm yeast, fresh butter, and a lift of bright citrus
  • Palate: Sweet cooked agave opens the way for black pepper, salty vegetal character, citrus zest, and a grounding minerality, all wrapped in a smooth, buttery texture
  • Finish: A well-oiled mouthfeel with lingering sweetness that stays long after the last sip

Fortaleza Blanco Lote 100 is exceptional sipped neat or on the rocks, and its layered savory-sweet profile also shines in a classic Margarita or a refined Paloma where the spirit can lead.


Best served neat or with a single large ice cube to let the full range of flavors open up. Made from 100% blue agave, distilled in Tequila, Jalisco, verified additive-free by Tequila Matchmaker.

Tequila, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Tequila marked

Tequila is the town that gave the spirit its name, set at about 1,180 meters in the valley below the Tequila volcano, some 60 km northwest of Guadalajara. Blue agave covers the volcanic soils between the volcano and the canyon of the Río Grande de Santiago, a landscape UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Large-scale agave distilling began here around 1600, and several of the oldest working distilleries in Mexico still operate in town. Tequila was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2003.
