Rare Fortaleza Find | Fortaleza Blanco Lot 200B Review (Bagazo Fermentation)
Rare Fortaleza Find | Fortaleza Blanco Lot 200B Review (Bagazo Fermentation) Fortaleza Blanco Lot 200B is a rare, limited-release tequila celebrating Fortaleza’s 200th batch. This special Blanco uses bagazo (agave fibers) during fermentation, creating a richer, earthier agave profile. In this review, I break down how Lot 200B is made, how it tastes, and why collectors consider it a unicorn bottle. Fortaleza Lot 200B is unlike standard Fortaleza Blanco. While the distillery’s traditional methods remain — brick ovens, tahona crushing, open fermentation, and copper pot distillation — this batch keeps agave fibers in the fermentation tank, adding texture, depth, and intensity to the final spirit. In this video, I cover: • What makes Fortaleza Blanco Lot 200B different • Bagazo fermentation explained • Tasting notes: nose, palate, and finish • Why Lot 200B is considered a rare collector bottle • How it compares to regular Fortaleza Blanco This is a tequila meant to be sipped neat and appreciated as a snapshot of Fortaleza Tequila craftsmanship at a specific moment in time.
