Fortaleza Reposado Winter Blend 2024

This WB seems even harder to come by than last year's was, which was slightly underwhelming. Was expecting to be disappointed. Right off the bat, the nose impressed, with pleasant aromas of whipped cream, berries, and agave, and not a hint of ethanol. The creaminess was still present on the palate, which was light and fluffy, and a little sweet. This is the most unique of the four Winter Blends I've had, and possibly the best. In some ways, the lack of disappointment is a little disappointing, as I'd love for the Fortaleza hype to be over already.

My favorite winter edition. Brilliant with notes of cooked agave, canteloupes, lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, star anise, ginger, cinnamon, christmas cakes, sultanas, almonds, raisins, golden syrup, plums, dates, and apricots.
