Experience the absolute purest expression of traditional Mexican craftsmanship with Fortaleza Still Strength Blanco Tequila. Highly coveted and rigorously allocated, this remarkable spirit captures the unadulterated essence of the agave plant exactly as it leaves the copper pot still. Whether it takes center stage in the premium agave collection at Nestor Liquor or is poured neat for VIP guests stepping out of the simulator bays at The Smash, this 92-proof masterpiece is a guaranteed triumph for serious tequila purists.
Unlike standard expressions that are diluted with water to reach a conventional 80 proof, this "Still Strength" release is bottled completely uncut at 46% ABV (92 Proof). Produced using centuries-old methods—including slow-cooking the 100% Blue Weber agave in stone/brick ovens, crushing it entirely with a traditional tahona stone, and fermenting it in open-air wooden vats—this process results in a vastly more rustic, vibrant, and flavor-dense profile. Hand-blown in Mexico and sealed with a signature agave piña stopper, it is a true benchmark of additive-free, artisanal distilling.
