Fortaleza Anejo Tequila

Don Javier bought a piece of land in the town of Tequila so he could build a hacienda on the highest point of town, overlooking his rival’s distillery. On this land sat a small distillery, which Don Javier named La Fortaleza.

With a small brick oven, a tahona pit, a few wood fermentation vats, and 2 small copper pot stills, our family produced tequila here until 1968, after which it was converted in to a museum. In 1999, Guillermo (Don Javier’s grandson) began the process of restoring the famous distillery.
