Where do you pick up the Forteleza Anejo?

Where do you pick up the Forteleza Anejo?

I have a buddy in CA that got me some. Haven’t seen a place that regularly gets it around us - have you?

Wangs had some a while back. But not recently

Picked up this today.

Found a couple old El Tesoro bottles yesterday. Picked up a reposado and an anejo. The lot numbers date them to 2007 for the repo and 2006 ish for the anejo. I'm excited to try them up against my current versions of the same bottles.

I guess the big tequila scandal of late is that Don Julio and Cas amigos tequila ( owned by the same parent company )
May not be 100% Agave and have been adding other alcohol to the bottles.

Will post links soon

I know the best tequila is additive free.

But what a contrast between bottlles.
Even the actual glass is different

All Fortaleza Anejo.

YIKES !!

Don't mind the non tequila products I picked up today. I am excited that I finally was able to find a bottle of Fortaleza reposado in the wild. Actually two of them. I had my first sip in Vegas about 6 years ago and now I am able to have a bottle on my bar at home!

I like the way they replaced clubs with agaves!

Been on a Mezcal cocktail kick lately. This has been a favorite to mix.

Today's cocktail (below are estimates, I don't measure):
2oz Mezcal
1oz Lemon Juice
0.75oz Pineapple Gum Syrup (Liber and Co)

Such bad exposure on this shot. My bar needs a better back splash. This photo is so stark, but if you saw my little bar you’d not recognize the pic.

Very nice tequila …

Pick up at total wine

I recently tried Mezcal for the first time. OMG, it is terrible! How do y’all drink that stuff? Blah!

Ive always wanted to try Tears of Llorona but just haven't pulled the trigger on a bottle. I see it for 300 to 350 around here which seems a bit high. I hear that it sells for much cheaper in some places.

It’s very good. But the crystalano reposado fo $45 is fantastic

I'll keep an eye out for the Cristalino next time I am at a Total Wine.

I picked up a bottle of Fortaleza Reposado from my local bottle-o (liquor store for you 'mericans). With that awesome cork I had to take a photo with the Rancho Agaves.

And then ran it through AI to make it seksi (albeit mutated)...
