Fortaleza Blanco Lot 200B is an 80 Proof (40% ABV) additive-free agave spirit commemorating the brand’s 200th milestone batch. Produced at Destilera La Fortaleza (NOM 1493), this limited allocation utilizes a rare “throwback” production method where the agave juice is fermented with the fibers (bagazo) intact. Most significantly, this lot is distilled directly to 80 proof, meaning no water is added after distillation to reach its bottling strengtha technical feat that preserves a high-viscosity mouthfeel and intense agave sweetness.
The sensory profile is characterized by bold roasted agave, earthy minerals, and bright citrus, transitioning into a clean, peppery finish. Housed in a signature hand-blown glass bottle, this “unicorn” release is a primary target for collectors tracking the specific maturation and fermentation nuances of the Fortaleza brand.
