Fortaleza launched in 2005, but Guillermo Sauza's family have been making tequila for five generations going back to Don Cenobio who is said to have been the first person to export “mezcal de tequila” to the United States, shorten the name to simply 'Tequila', use steam to cook the agave rather than an earthen pit, and specify Blue Agave as the best to use. Quite a legacy!
Exotic citrus, popcorn, earthy caramel, wood spice, rich agave, orchard fruit, complex herbal notes. Really top stuff.

One of my top 3 sipping tequilas, and probably as close an experience as you will come by to tasting a NOM 1079 tequila... and definitely not much point using for Margaritas (Espolon works for that). Having visited this distillery, I know how much care and craftsmanship that goes into every element of making this fine tequila - from the estate grown agave plants, to the hand-made corks on top. Everything about this is quality. Not many other places to go from here - certain Ocho's, maybe.
Just jumped into Tequila and Mezcal after being into whisky for years. Delicious! An amazing place to start your journey.
I'm a whisky drinker, but have bought a couple of bottles of tequila in the past year to try and broaden my horizons. This is the first tequila that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I drink it neat and find it perfectly smooth. If someone were to ask me for a recommendation on a sipping tequila, this would be the one I'd tell them about.
Amazing stuff, truly one of the too three reposado tequilas in existence. This g4 and ocho in my opinion are the punicle of reposado production in 2020
Top quality - many of the new bottles are only aged 3 month and will have small sticker on back with ageing info Still one of the best tequila on the market
