Founded by Guillermo Erickson Sauza in 1999, Tequila Fortaleza was created to revive the traditional, centuries-old production methods of his legendary ancestors. Reopening the family's old distillery, Guillermo chose to prioritize authenticity and labor-intensive processes over modern industrial efficiency.
Produced at the historic Destileria La Fortaleza in Tequila, Jalisco, utilizing traditional artisanal methods. The agave pias are slowly crushed using a massive stone tahona wheel before natural fermentation in open-air wood tanks and double distillation in copper pots.
