Guillermo himself said a big mistake they made as a company was selling it to more states. Since they can't really scale up production all allotments went from cases to bottles. So it's spread thin
Ocho is right up there. Tapatio 110. Terralta. All good.
I live in Hawaii and the liquor store informed me that Fortaleza were losing money and now mainly concentrating selling them to bars and restaurants. Went to LA and found a blanco which was the last one at the store and wanted $200 for it, I bought one for $80 a couple of years ago. $200 was expen$ive for a blanco!
I just found a bottle of blanco in Riverside, last bottle too for 100$ with taxes. It’s crazy how limited this tequila is
@@victoyous3214 That's great! It's like looking for gold. LOL I found a company online that delivers to Hawaii. I ordered a set of Anejo, Blanco, Reposado and for a bonus an extra Blanco as Christmas special. They also have the "Mill" version but didn't order it...yet. The prices are going up.
@@kanehi3275 yikes! How much was all that???
@@victoyous3214 I got them thru Wooden Cork and the shipping was a bit expensive. but the bottles were packed well. It was a Christmas special and with S&H was $750. I guess it'll be cheaper shipping in California because the shipping location was San Diego.
@@kanehi3275 oh wow. That’s not too bad actually. Could be worse
It’s only really the Anejo and Reposado (kinda) thats hard to get. Blanco is easy as anything to grab.
I found a bottle of Blanco priced at $100. Took me forever to find a bottle.
Got me A bottle of blanco at BevMo $65 got an alert they had it on stock 😎
I worked in Connecticut I found 4 bottles in Virginia where I live none
Virginia? Where?😊
Northern va
Sorry but it has nothing to do with Lui Fernandes claiming Fortaleza the best in the world. That video came out 2 yrs ago and lots of Tequila enthusiasts felt the same as him already
I think that video Lui put out only had 64K or 65k views. Hardly enough to move the needle.
They simply don’t produce enough to supply demand. That’s it. Very simple.
Yeah he hates the fact tequila is becoming more expensive and tequila should be considered cheap liquor. Jealousy perhaps? Sorry an agave plant that takes 8 years at least to ripen should be considered more expensive than barley based spirits.

I’m a tequila guy. I do not like whiskey whatsoever. I will spend whatever on a great bottle of tequila. It’s really just a matter of perception. Your perception of whiskey comes from the deep Irish and Scottish and ultimately British roots that the US was founded on.
I’m a spirits guy. I love tequila and whisky. Both have unique flavors and can be enjoyed neat.

I got two bottles of the Blanco yesterday. 70 bucks each.
When you spot that Mijenta Cristalino (only good one I've had)
Come on Guy’s? Don’t overpay!!! There’s way better tequilas!!! Beat’s Fortaleza in blinds!!!
I live in Las Vegas I don’t expect to see forteleza in any store when I go , if I do ,please believe I’m gonna be that douchebag that hoards
Damn I live in Mississippi none here I’m going to Vegas in 2 months any recommendations on spots to look at?
@ lee’s discount liquor or total wine & more. Those are the main 2 stores where you’re most likely to find them
100$ in dallas
I live in denmark
never been a problem too get
Basically the Blantons of tequila now, it’s mad annoying
Buffalo Trace? They sell that shit at Walmart for $30 lol
He said “Buffalo Trace product” could be
anything, Blantons, Weller, Eagle Rare,
EH Taylor and Pappy just to name a few
@@jf80393 Funnily enough, Fortaleza is better quality than the majority of Buffalo trace product, especially the overly hyped ones like blantons
Just got two bottles for $60 each at Safeway.
