The Forest Distillery have blended some really interesting Malt whisky here. All malt, all aged 8 years & above.

The bottles are polished black porcelain with a papercut by the artist Georgia Low glazed with real gold. ...
Fortalezas signature Blanco is made with 100% stone crushed Blue Weber agave, & double-distilled for an extra smooth finish in this deceptively complex, yet easy to drink tequila.
With its deep aromas of citrus & rich baked agave, Fortaleza Blanco is a true aficionados tequila.

100% agave
Aromas of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, & earth are invitingly present.
Slightly brighter & a touch more rustic than the regular blanco, the accents of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, & vegetal qualities in the flavour are enhanced because it comes straight from the small copper pot still, without adding water prior to bottling.
For years, the only way to sample this was to visit the distillery in Tequila, Jalisco. Until now.
Almost like youre getting Fortaleza Blanco direct from the still actually, you are. This is a great blanco in its purest form.
