Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The aroma opens with rich, inviting scents of dark chocolate and toasted oak, accompanied by layers of dried fruits, such as black cherry and raisins. There’s a subtle hint of spiced orange zest and vanilla bean, with a delicate note of baking spices like cinnamon and clove. The French oak finish adds a light, elegant layer of toasted nuts and a whisper of leather.

• Palate: On the palate, Fortaleza Winterblendr offers a velvety texture with a beautifully balanced blend of agave sweetness and oak complexity. The agave flavor is present, but it’s complemented by layers of deep, caramelized brown sugar, toffee, and warm spices. A touch of dark fruit, like plum and blackberries, emerges, along with nuances of roasted nuts and a light, buttery mouthfeel. The French oak finish provides a delicate spice, enhancing the overall depth and richness of the tequila.

• Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering flavors of rich vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet agave. A gentle, spiced warmth lingers on the palate, leaving behind a smooth, satisfying aftertaste that invites another sip.

Overall: Fortaleza Winterblendr Tequila is a luxurious, limited-edition release that blends traditional craftsmanship with innovative aging techniques. The combination of Añejo and Reposado tequilas finished in French oak creates a unique, rich, and complex profile that is perfect for sipping. The warmth of the oak and the smoothness of the agave make this an exceptional tequila to enjoy during the colder months, whether as a special occasion treat or as part of a cozy evening.
