Tequila Fortaleza (known as "Los Abuelos" in Mexico) is a legendary tequila amongst aficionados. It is the most traditionally-made tequila money can buy, generally unavailable outside of Jalisco, Mexico and only 4,000 cases a year are produced. It has a flavor so deliciously distinct you will remember and recognize it months and years later.
Fortaleza owner and distiller Guillermo Erickson Sauza is a direct fifth-generation descendant of the pioneering Sauza family. In the 1990s, he began producing a tequila as it was made by his great-great grandfather in the 1860s. Guillermo is charming, entertaining and a bit larger than life. Not only can he talk about any and all details of the production of his tequila, his life story is tequila history itself and you're not likely to hear anyone else speak in the first-person about the Sauzas and Cuervos (relatives, neighbors and rivals)!
Davis Street Tavern will be hosting Fortleza on Wed. July 7th at 1:30-3:30pm. This event is FREE and snacks and tasters will be provided. Davis St. Tavern is located at 500 NW Davis Street in Portland.
This is a rare and unique opportunity to rub elbows with a craft tequila maker. Hope to see you there.
