Fortaleza Tequila — the last true tequila made the old way.
In this episode of Story of the Spirit, Tommy the Bartender travels to Tequila, Jalisco to uncover how one family’s five-generation legacy kept Mexican tradition alive in a modern world.

In the hills of Tequila, Jalisco, tradition still runs through copper, stone, and sweat.
This is the story of Fortaleza Tequila — a distillery that refused to trade authenticity for efficiency.
