{"product_id":"fortaleza-blanco-still-strength-tequila-700ml","title":"Fortaleza Blanco Still Strength Tequila 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eFortaleza Blanco Still Strength is the uncut version of Fortaleza's celebrated blanco, bottled straight from the copper stills at 46% ABV (92 proof) with no water added. This is the 700ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made by fifth-generation tequila maker Guillermo Erickson Sauza at Destilería La Fortaleza (NOM 1493) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Blue Weber agave is cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens, crushed entirely by tahona, and double distilled in copper pot stills, and the tequila is additive-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it skips dilution, Still Strength is brighter, more rustic and more concentrated than the standard Blanco. The nose shows intensified roasted agave, baked fruit, green olive, earth and black pepper. The palate is fuller and richer, with butter, olive, earth, black pepper and vegetal agave, and more grip and texture, and the finish is long, dry and peppery, with persistent agave and mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-blown bottle with its agave-shaped stopper makes it a classic gift for tequila lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat to appreciate the full-strength agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, baked fruit, green olive, earth and black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butter, olive, earth, black pepper and vegetal agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry and peppery, with mineral character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Destilería La Fortaleza (Guillermo Erickson Sauza), NOM 1493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanco Tequila, still strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat at room temperature.
