Straight off the copper pot still at 46% with no water added that is the entire idea behind Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength, the tequila regulars just call ‘Forty Six.’ It is made the slow way at Destilera La Fortaleza in the town of Tequila: Blue Weber agave cooked in stone ovens, crushed under a volcanic tahona wheel, fermented in open wood tanks, and run through small copper stills. Skipping the usual dilution keeps the agave oils intact, so cooked agave, citrus zest, olive brine, and black pepper land with real weight. It is additive-free and genuinely allocated it moves quickly when it hits shelves. Sip it neat from a copita, or build the richest Margarita of your year.
