Lot 41 The aroma is full of cooked agave. Interestingly the flavor is very fruity but the fruit does not show up in the aroma. On the flavor I get lots of fruit along with the agave. The finish is very smooth either way just a hint of heat indicating the higher proof.
Lote 41 at the duke in SD. Aroma is typical Fortaleza plus a musty citrus Taste is sensational with a burst of pepper, sweet agave, and something fruity…is that pineapple?! Mouthfeel is on the viscous side. Nice. Finish is perfect Fortaleza.
