Aroma : Cooked agave, vanilla, caramel. Some oakiness along with butter and olives. Taste : Full bodied, oily and complex with plenty of agave for an Añejo, vanilla and caramel, more oak and butter and olives. I also got some fruity/peach notes and butterscotch. Finish : Long lasting and slightly spicy, and prolongs butter, butterscotch, and oak notes. This is a good balance of sweet and spicy, and it's very complex. I've been away the past 2 weeks, and this was a great tequila to have after so long. I'm stocked on many more tequilas so I definitely hope they measure up to this.

Killer. Delicious balance of agave and oak. I was thinking the oak would be stronger due to the length of aging, but they’ve done an amazing job of letting the agave shine through. Well balanced, and reasonably priced IMO. Bravo

of the 3, this is bold leader. the man of the house. but he wears custom suits, drives a jag, and loves the ladies. not tough. ... experienced and smart. big vanilla on the nose. sweet, inviting, not at all intimidating. this bottle should come with a bear - skin rug and a fire place. pepper, mint, honey and molasses splash around in a dance upon your taste buds, before giving you a sample of smoke before disappearing.

Lot 18

Tasted blind !..Interesting depth of flavor! Full flavored ...Like it a lot!.. Best Anejo!

I would rate this a 10 for value if it weren't for the $129 before tax price in WA state. They sold so much at $109 (sarcasm) the distributor needed to raise the price over $20 per bottle. I shop online for this now or mule it back myself from CA.

Lot 13. Big, sweet nose with tons of butterscotch, honey and some pineapple mingled with agave. Lots of barrel notes on the palate, including vanilla, caramel and butterscotch, but with a nice oaky bite at the end to balance it out. This is such an easy sipper, highly recommended!

Cuban Cigar Compatible.....Tip Top Sipper

I think this might have been lot 14 or earlier. It was in a restaurant, so I didn't get the lot #.

Citrus deliciousness! Baked agave, vanilla, slightly spicy. This is a delightful long-term sipper. This is a unique tequila experience.

Caramel, vanilla, very round. Smooth and sweet taste taste, good mouth feel. Leaves a bit of a film in the mouth.

The flavors and aromas of Fortaleza Anejo are like roasted hazelnuts with brown sugar, butter and cinnamon sticks - tossed onto a bed of morning dew grass with a light sprinkle of olive oil.

Aroma: cooked agave, pineapple, vanilla

Happy Birthday to me... Love you Missy

Pretty excited to finally add Fortaliza Añejo to the collection. This Anejo did not disappoint. The color is a nice amber with decent legs. Aroma is amazing, honey, butterscotch, agave are detected immediately. Flavor is over the top. Butterscotch, agave, pepper, citrus and spices. Finish is smooth with light pepper at the front of the pallet .

Great stuff

Aromas of vanilla, butterscotch, and cooked agave. I’m not a Anejo guy but this is pretty damn good. Their Blancos have similar aromas so you get consistent flavors and aromas across their brand.

Very smooth. Has an almost buttery glide on your palate. Nice finish with some spice notes. Easy to sip on. Great sipping tequila. Price point is more than fair for a tequila of this quality.

I'm a rookie at this but the word that came to mind midway through my first glass was CLEAN. it's high quality stuff

Wonderful aromas of roasted agave, caramel, and vanilla jump off the glass, followed by a mellow oakiness and a bit of fruit. Notes of black pepper, butter, cinnamon, and cherries also appear after opening up. The palate follows the aroma, with the addition of rich toffee and molasses. This is an excellent añejo, where the oak compliments the agave instead of overpowering it.

My absolute favorite tequila. Everyone has their own certain preference for a style of tequila. Fortaleza is the perfect fit for my style.

outstanding

strong agave odor smooth flavor with the right balance of sweet from agave

Aromas of Carmel with hints of vanilla, flavors of burnt maguey and brown sugar, finishes with hints of smoke with a light hotness.

Expensive. I had to see why it’s so highly rated and it lived up to it. I brought it over with a bottle of Pueblo Viejo Anejo- My brother liked it better, My Pop didn’t. All said its a great tequila, but at $100...
