@@CuriosityPublic so I'm desperate to find a bottle of this somewhere what is your personal favorite the blanco or the Reposado?
@@ralphtom3431 depends where you live, but if you’re in the uk, Amazon is your go to for spirits, including Fortaleza
My god dude you guys really are professionals.. how are you guys not wasted by the end of the drink through (tm) just amazes me. Thanks for the video as always! 🍷
My family tried Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia, Fortaleza anejo and Don Julio 1942, we all preferred 1) Fortalez, 2) Jose Cuervo and 3) Don Julio in that order.
Thanks for another Tequila Drinkthrough, really enjoying these!
Great video with thoughtful commentary. Love that y'all explore a variety of different types of spirits on the channel. I honestly hadn't really thought of exploring tequila but this has inspired me to
I agree completely. These guys have opened my eyes up to tequila.
Killer video guys, my collection continues to grow exponentially from watching your walk throughs, especially this one, id love to see a similar walk through of 'tromba' tequila varieties
My favorite lineup yet!
My favorite Tequila brand. I have the Reposado and Anejo but the Blanco is my favorite.
That Blanco is amazingly delicious.
Fortaleza is by far my favorite brand but the still strength is my go to. There is something about the flavor that is off the hook
Thanks for the very informative vid.Very pro!
Excellent question.
Amazing!
Fortaleza Blanco and Reposado along with El Tesoro Platinum (Blanco) and Reposado are my favorites.
I was lucky to score a case of each 42 & 43a .. it's a tasty blend.
Big fan of that, I was able to get the Blanco, the Still Strength, Reposado and the Anejo, for some reason the reposado is my favorite, just hate that became like allocated bourbon and I can’t find them easily anymore
First time watching your videos. I really like how the audio came out.
So I'm sitting in a Mexican restaurant on our trip out to Arizona with a killer Tequila menu and I come upon Fortaleza and I'm sitting there racking my brain over why I've heard of this brand... hahahaha Go figure our server backs me up when I ask if this is one I should try. I got the anejo and it was the perfect end to the night. Funny to come back and rewatch this now.
Hey I live in Arizona and can't find a bottle of this stuff anywhere what restaurant were you at if I may ask
awesome bottle lineup!
Glad I grabbed a Anejo Lot 43-A when I had a chance a few Christmas’s ago for 180 which is a steal compared to some of the prices I seen
I got a full bottle of 42 and a half bottle of 43 left. It's is so good. Lots of Carmel and vanilla notes.
100% agree with Jules, Fortaleza blanco has fresh cold press olive oil on the nose and palate but its less pronounced on the still strength
Always thought it had a hint of dirty Martini ha
Great episode
Awesome video! "Volans" tequila just came into my life, tahona stone crushed and very tasty, keep an eye out for it, it'd be worth a review for you guys
You guys should do a California Spirits Drinkthrough. Lost Republic, Spirit Works, St. George, San Diego, Redwood Empire, Cali, Wright & Brown
Been waiting for this Drinkthrough! Really enjoyed this episode. You going to taste any Fortaleza in your "Ultimate Spirit's Competition"?
Yes - we have a review of the winter blend coming soon.
@@CuriosityPublicI can’t find the video of the winter blend review
Love the tequila episodes. I have heard the EA is a distillery only release and because of demand they could not produce it as a regular release.
Not really even distillery only. You can't buy bottles. Sometimes, Guillermo will offer tastes from his stash.
It is AMAZING. As good as the 42/43 are, the EA on its own is yet another step above.
Speaking of Fortaleza rarities....
There was a production in 2018 (or earlier?) that impacted the reposado. To meet contract, Fortaleza released reposados that had been aged only 2 months or 6 1/2 months, not the regular 9 months. Those have stickers on them stating the # of months of aging.
It is really interesting to line up samples of the three different reposados and taste the difference just a few months makes!
My 2020 Winter's Blend also snapped at the neck but I was able to save about half the bottle. Ran it through a coffee filter, for the glass, and still got to enjoy a little bit.
Would be curious how many other bottles have broken from that bottle run
We've heard that because a lot of the bottles they use are still hand blown they are a little more prone to breaking.
Repo is my fav hands down!!
The music is incredible
Just bought my first bottle of Fortaleza Respasado today. We only have this variant available in South Africa. I love tequila but I could never find the right one for me. I hope this is the one!
How was it mate? Hope you enjoyed it. I love the Reposado
Thanks for the informative video and reviewing all the different ones they have. Is this company still in business because I cannot find any of their tequila anywhere in the United States.
Excellent Tequila. I have heard the entire line is wholesale only now. No retail.
Awesome video. Convinced me to pick up the Still Strength
What did you think of the Still version?
@@jmricks73 excellent. My favorite out of the regular lineup
@@steveno7058 Really? Cool. My local liquor store only has the Still. Wasn't sure if I should start with that one or try to find a blanco. But all accounts seem to suggest it's a little more complex.
@@jmricks73 if you are okay with a bit higher proof than the Still is the way to go
@@steveno7058 do you get more alcohol flavor?
Im gonna get a couple bottles when i find some. I like traditional and i like tequila .was trying some mijenta when i seen this video its not bad but i gotta try this.
Love the channel, have y'all reviewed Fortaleza in the Ultimate Spirits Competition? Would love to see how it stacks up against G4
I got all excited watching the video then saw they don't sell any of it in my state.
I am frantic about Fortaleza, but there is a sour staleness in the 2020 winter blend that just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe from the ale barrel. I preferred the 2019 WB.
That's exactly why the 2020 is my favorite reposado. Different tastes I guess.
I have many tequilas in my home bar but no Fortaleza. I gotta get me a bottle of that blanco.
...now I’m trying to decide between Arizola’s or El Paseo mexican food restaurants, near me!
I had the Fortaleza blanco for the first time the other day at a restaurant and it was excellent. Store prices in Chicago are getting out of line. $60-65. For now I'll stick with Arette at $30.
It's like 160 a bottle now.
@@TheRichie213 : Not even available here currently. I'm loving Arette blanco these days.
Has anyone had the reposado lote 118 R?? I just found a bottle but haven't opened it up yet..
How would you compare Fortaleza Añejo to Tears of Llorona ? Fun video. Thanks
Fortaleza all day.. This is probably the best tequila made on earth especially lote 42-A
No the Añejo was short for there release so they added in the house extra añejo that they don’t sell.. that’s what created lote 42-A
I enjoyed this video. But just for clarification, Fortaleza Reposado is aged 6 months and the Anejo is aged 18 months.
What’s your top 3 tequila for shipping?
You’ve reviewed the epic rum Foursquare, now how about the new Transcontinental rum line?
Yes please more rum reviews!
I just picked up a lot 162•B for ~$50, anyone know if this is a good batch?
love the vids you put out on taste test. However , a little old for star wars.
Tequila novice here. I've had:
Don Julio Reposado
Casa Noble Anejo
Ley 925 Blanco
I've also had Scorpion Mezcal Anejo.
Any recommendations on which of these Fortalezas to get?
It's been so long that I don't remember which one I liked the most, but I figure I can't go wrong with any of these.
Fortaleza Añejo
Any Fortaleza is worth getting. The only one not liked by a lot of aficionados was Winter Blend 2020 because of the beer barrels used. All the tequilas you mentioned you had are all terrible.
Is fortaleza the same Alc vol to Los abuelos?
Wow Star Wars fans that drink Tequila? Im subd.
Great drinkthrough of a great product... I cringe at the thought of this getting too popular and it become hard to find.
For some of us they're Unicorns.
When are you guys gonna go live again?
Working on it! Keep an eye on the community tab... We'll announce all our lives there.
Best tequila on the planet.
Where to find the extra añejo lot 42 or 43? Looks is sold out...
It's very hard to find now. No idea where it might be available, sorry!
I just got a bottle for my wife for Valentine’s Day. Had to go to several towns and was hard to find for me. I am really excited to try it with her. I am curious though. When I look inside of the bottle at the back of the label it looks patchy. My first thought was someone changed the labels but it’s such a distinct bottle. Is that a thing with fakes or is it just due to the slight wavy nature of the hand blown glass?
@spencerking7988 What did you think of it? I haven’t tried it but I’m eager to….
@@ceezrrr_g I enjoy them. I found the bottle is handmade so that’s why the label from the back looked different. Was able to find it more and even order from some local bars to taste ones I don’t own. I didn’t like the winter reserve which was nice because it was one I got to try at a bar first. The blanco is nice without burn and some vegetal notes but not overpowering, feels like it is rich and coating on the tongue and cooked agave but well balanced to where it sips amazingly. The repo has been solid as well but my favorite currently is the still strength. It’s not as high on proof as I was expecting but still doesn’t burn, great sipper and just accentuates the flavor profile a few notches.
@@2tier1776how much did you pay for it?
@@Gio-nl7eg I believe the blanco was 40-50 at Costco. The anejo was closer to 75-90. Been a while
We need a el tesoro de don felipe drinkthrough
What lot number of blanco are you drinking? I have 119B and I bought in NYC.
3:52
My review would go “Mmm, that’s good” or “that crap sucks”. 😂
That wouldn't work here since they're all some of the best tequilas on the planet.
Thinking of buying the still strength Blanco but this place is charging $120 is this worth it? Or 100 for the blanco
yep
If you have to pick one (available) version of Fortaleza, which one you will keep?
I really enjoyed this video and the comments, but (because of the pandemic) I cannot try any of them before buying a bottle. Any advise to buy right away ?
The blanco might be the best place to start with Fortaleza. Also nice because it is the cheapest! Cheers!
It would be nice if you had these analyzed so you could report on the additives that are in it.That olive oil feel you mentioned is probably glycerine.
Isn’t Fort additive free?
When is the añejo going in for the ultimate spirits competition?
Would you guys recommend 1800 silver as a sipping tequila
Probably better for mixing but it can work in a pinch
No!
One of these guys over-talked the whole time and I would like to hear more from the other guys
Which would be the smoothest, and sweetest out of the blanco, reposedo, and anjeo? I like taking shots of tequila and want the smoothest, and sweetest.
There is nothing smooth about tequila. Nothing smooth about Mexico. You want smooth get something with Glycerin added. Your palate is probably not ready for something like Fortaleza.
No negative comments on any of them? Hmm...really? Seems like your analyzing fortaleza with kid gloves. Anyway, that said, for me the anejo is amazing on the nose and palate. I would highly recommend it.
What is your guys' favorite higher proof blanco? Still strength or G4 or Cazcanes etc?
Try el mayor respodo its like $24.
Ppl are loosing their minds!
So, really over analyzed, it's great or it's not. It is! Buy, Drink, Enjoy!!
Did he say frunk
HIc, after 6 oz you guys are dusted. Use the force Luke.
It’s crazy how tequila can make bourbons look boring.. they just offer so much more nothing against bourbon still enjoy it but it’s a one trick pony.
There is a reason the Anejo is significantly more expensive than the others. it is WAY more flavorful and aromatic than the other types. These reviewers are lame and follish, to say the least.
Can I be Jules next time and just drink the tequila and just listen to y’all
The 2020 WinterBlend sucked !
Our friend jules is quiet. Does he have a chance to speak? I'm smiling saying this but am serious also.
You should have not have the guy who doesn’t like tequila ,please watch the video your self and you will see what I mean,,he makes no sense,,,has no clue what tequila is ,,,other then that awesome awesome video
Comparing Casa Dragones as an equal to any aspect of Fortaleza ? Really?
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾⛄🍾🍾🎄🎄🎄
First
Guys...love your videos, BUT your intro music is absolutely obnoxious. Please change. :) 🙏
Omg,,, you're all drunk👎
I'm sorry, you guys are Fortaleza fanboys. It's very good Tequila, but there are better tequilas out there for that price, especially the Reposado and Anejo. Strawberry Starbursts or cinnamon or mint ARE NOT tequila flavors so not what it should be.
What tequilas would you put ahead of Fortaleza?
@@MattS-us4to not really anything he don’t know what he’s talking about he’s just hating..
All they’re saying is that it’s a good tequila man. You sound foolish
I just purchase a bottle of Fortaleza Reposado. Where on the bottle does it state how long this has been aged? My No. lote86-R . Great review. Guillermo Sauza, The Most Interesting Man in the Mexico. Thanks
There is no age statement on the bottle. Reposado must be aged between 2-12 months. Rumor is that Fortaleza age's their repo around 7 months. Cheers!
@@CuriosityPublic Thanks
Great episode
Thanks!
