Available now at Liquor Boutique
Fortaleza Cask Proof Reposado Tequila is a powerful, traditionally crafted spirit weighing in at its natural barrel strength. Made from mature blue Weber agave in Jalisco and produced using time-honored methods—including stone tahona milling and copper pot distillation—it’s then rested for 8 to 12 months in well-seasoned American oak. The result is a bold, uncut reposado that retains rugged agave character while showcasing deep oak, spice, and earth tones in true cask strength style.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Robust agave heart, toasted oak, cinnamon stick, and fresh orange zest
-
Palate: Thick roasted agave paired with warm vanilla, baking spice, honeyed driftwood, and toasted coconut
-
Finish: Rich, warm, and lingering—wood spice and agave sweetness merging with natural barrel bite

How to Enjoy:
Serve neat or with a splash of room-temperature water to tame the proof and coax out flavor nuances. Use a Glencairn or tulip glass for nosing. For an elevated sip, pop in a single large ice cube. It also performs beautifully in hearty cocktails like a Reposado Boulevardier or an earthy Mexican Old Fashioned.
Have Any Questions?
What is “Cask Proof”?
Cask proof means it is bottled at its natural strength straight from the barrel—no water added—giving you full, unfiltered flavor.
Is this reposado overly oaky?
No—the oak is carefully sourced and well-seasoned, so it complements the agave rather than hiding it.
Can I use it in cocktails?
Absolutely—it adds bold flavor to spirit-forward drinks like reposado Negronis or Old Fashioned twists.
What is the proof range?
Typically around 110–115 proof (55–57% ABV), varying slightly depending on barrel conditions.
