Fortaleza Sip Tequila Single Barrel is a Reposado Tequila from Destileria La Fortaleza in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. This single-barrel selection was hand-picked exclusively for Sip Tequila and aged just over six months in a single third-fill used American oak barrel before being bottled at 94.8 proof, additive-free.

Sip Tequila, one of the most respected agave-spirit retailers in the US, secured this barrel from the distillery's single-barrel program before it was discontinued. The cask was filled January 4 2022 and emptied July 15 2022, giving the spirit roughly six months in a third-fill barrel - older, broken-in wood that pushes less oak character into the spirit and leaves more room for the underlying agave to read through. Production follows Fortaleza's traditional methods at NOM 1493: 100 percent estate Blue Weber agave, brick-oven slow cooking, tahona stone-wheel extraction, open-air wooden vat fermentation, and double distillation in small copper pot stills.

On the nose, it shows cooked agave layered with prominent oak, caramelized apricot, and high-proof astringency. The palate brings deep roasted agave, vanilla, fresh herb, black pepper, and cedar, and the finish carries a full, earthy, crisp-yet-oaky close.

As Fortaleza's single-barrel program has since been discontinued, releases like this can't be replicated, which has cemented their collector status. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
