Fortaleza Anejo Lot 42-A is an Anejo Tequila from Destileria La Fortaleza in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. This release is one of the two most legendary "mistake batches" in modern tequila collecting, bottled at 80 proof, additive-free.
Lot 42-A is rumored to contain an unknown proportion of unreleased 48-month Extra Anejo accidentally married into a standard Anejo run just before bottling. Tequila Fortaleza has never confirmed the rumor, and the distillery has never released an Extra Anejo to market - which is exactly why collectors treat Lots 42-A and 43-A as "shadow Extra Anejos." Production otherwise 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, double distillation in small copper pot stills, and approximately eighteen months in American oak.
On the nose, it shows cooked agave layered with rich caramel, vanilla, oak, dried fruit, and baking spice. The palate brings deeper oak integration, dried-fruit richness, and a more layered complexity than the standard Anejo, and the finish carries a long, tannic close.
Whether or not the Extra Anejo blending story is true, Lot 42-A drinks meaningfully deeper than the surrounding lots - which is what cemented its legend. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
