Fortaleza Winter Blend 2021 Reposado Tequila
The Winter Blend is Fortaleza's annual limited reposado — 92-proof tahona tequila finished in a blend of unusual casks — and Bourbon & Banter says a $200 MSRP is considered a bargain given what it goes for. Fortaleza is the tequila of Guillermo Erickson Sauza, great-great-great-grandson of Don Cenobio Sauza, who founded Sauza in 1873; the family sold the brand but kept La Fortaleza, the original distillery in the town of Tequila, and Guillermo restored Don Cenobio's equipment and released Fortaleza in 2005 at NOM 1493. The 2021 Winter Blend is 100% Tequila Valley blue Weber agave cooked in a stone-and-brick oven, crushed by a two-ton volcanic tahona, fermented with airborne yeast, double-distilled in copper, aged first in ex-American whiskey casks, then finished separately in the year's chosen secondary casks and married in proportion, bottled at 46% ABV — additive-free; check your bottle for 2021's cask combination. Bourbon & Banter, on the series: a battle between fruit and minerality, aromatics from airborne yeast, cooked agave, tahona crushing, and the finishing casks — share it with Fortaleza fans first, and with knowledgeable drinkers who'll appreciate the nuance. Honest note: a one-year release that's gone forever, hunted by every enthusiast in the country — the 2021 is a collector's Fortaleza, and the price says so. Neat, in a copita, slowly. Fortaleza, winter 2021.
