Doña Mariana
Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength)
Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength is a 46% abv tequila from Jalisco. NOM 1493 identifies this Los Valles spirit produced using Tequilana agave. Stone ovens and a tahona mill define its cooked agave foundation. Wood tank fermentation creates notes of black pepper, citrus, and olive. Copper pot distillation preserves brine, minerals, and butter on the palate. A spicy finish lingers after this robust traditional production method shapes the profile. Deep well water supports fermentation without fibers in two copper still passes. The result is a high-proof spirit with significant depth and complexity at its elevated alcohol content.
