Fortaleza
Tequila Blanco

Category: Blanco Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lime pith and mango orchard, cedar and wet straw, cinnamon and agave nectar, and under ripe peach and apricot with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that shows notes of cedar, baking spice on fondue, green poblano and fresh herbs, lime pith and eucalyptus, and jasmine green tea. Very green and herbaceous lowland agave driven flavors with excellent minerality.

Silver or Blanco/White Tequilas are clear, with little (no more than 60 days in stainless steel tanks) or no aging. They can be either 100% agave or mixto. Silver Tequilas are used primarily for mixing and blend particularly well into fruit-based drinks.
