Aged just long enough for richness without overpowering freshness, it bridges the purity of blanco with the depth of añejo.

The reposado rests 6–9 months in American oak barrels, giving just the right kiss of wood while preserving agave’s core vibrancy.

Cocktail & Serving Uses While exceptional neat or with a single cube, Fortaleza Reposado also elevates cocktails like the Reposado Old Fashioned, Tequila Sour, or a refined Margarita.
