Even though Tequila Fortaleza is relatively new to the market, having been established in 2005, their brand has over 140 years of history behind it. Tequila Fortaleza’s story begins with Don Cenobio, the family’s great-great grandfather who founded his first distillery – La Perseverancia – in 1873, in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Don Cenobio is integral to both Tequila Fortaleza and the tequila industry as a whole. For instance, he was the first person to export “mezcal de tequila” to the United States, shorten the name to just Tequila, and implement the use of steam to cook the agave (instead of an earthen pit), Cenobio also stated that the Blue Agave was the best agave to use for production.
