Fortaleza Reposado vs Fortaleza Añejo: (Which Tequila Wins?) Fortaleza Reposado vs Fortaleza Añejo: (Which Tequila Wins?)

Fortaleza Reposado offers a nice balance of agave flavor and sweetness combined with the oaky notes from the bourbon barrel. Fortaleza Añejo is one of the top Añejo Tequilas available in the market, offering a tremendously balanced taste with a satisfying finish. While all Tequilas go through the first four pieces of the process listed above, the approach to resting the spirit in barrels is where different Reposados stand apart. Variations can be attributed to the type of barrel used during the aging process, how long the Tequila is aged for, and the final blending decisions made by the Tequilero or Tequilera. Nose: The overall aroma profile on lote 74 is a departure from most Fortaleza repos in my experience. It opens with spiced pear, a hint of oak, dried powdered ginger, cloves and cinnamon. There is a flowery, perfume like bouquet mingling with the scent of lemon zest. There is just the tiniest hint of lactic and clay notes.Nose: Lively barrel spice entrance, embracing a crisp oak note and mellow butterscotch. Clean orange and citrus rind. Some flintiness to the aromas. Nose: All the usual goodies. Green olives and white pepper. Dusty minerality. A hint of smoke. And of course agave dripping with sweetness. Experienced Tequila drinkers appreciate reposado Tequila by itself without any garnishes and additives that will change its flavor. However, there are plenty of ways to enjoy Tequila that will allow you to appreciate its natural flavor, regardless of whether you're a novice drinker or a knowledgeable sipper. Sipping It Neat

Fortaleza Reposado review - Review | BBC Good Food

It’s widely regarded as one of the top Reposado Tequilas available and a favorite among serious Tequila aficionados. Nose: Fruity introduction: Pineapple/citrus/green apple. A touch of oak. Underlying spices and vanilla trying to emerge. Earthy minerals. Nose: Cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla tinged oak. Some clay and musty straw aromas. Hints of cedar and fruity agave. NOSE- some parmesan cheese and olive brine, citrus, buttery, caramel, nice cooked agave, and anise. It is delicious, silky but bold, balanced and tasty. Flavor: Vibrant pepper and barrel spices. Flavor is congruent to aromas: dark ripe fruit notes, rich round vanilla, punchy cinnamon and a citrus twang. A hint of hazelnuts as it winds down.

Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Cheese: After aging in oak barrels, the soft profile of reposado fits the creaminess of brie and the smoky flavor of gouda. If you want to change things up, forget the wine and try a Tequila and cheese pairing night instead. Age: Tequila reposado is most commonly rested in American and French oak barrels. Reposado must be aged for at least two months but no longer than 364 days. There are no size restrictions on the vessel in which a Reposado is aged so they can vary from traditional 220 liter whiskey barrels, to large wooden vats called pipones. The name “reposado” translates to “rested” in Spanish, reflecting the time it takes to qualify as a reposado. I'm a whisky drinker, but have bought a couple of bottles of tequila in the past year to try and broaden my horizons.
