Lucky you. My Fortaleza Repo is corked. 
Finally found some Green Chartreuse so I can make some twists on Last Word with Mezcal.
I need to figure out what to make with Chartreuse Elixir (bitters).
Couple ideasā¦use it to cook with in desserts, or for cocktails a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, a Last Word variant with overproof rum, mezcal, or tequila.
The grocery storeās stash of Fortaleza was somewhat depleted today, had plenty of Blanco and also some Blanco Still Strength.

Still Strength is delicious. Iād clear the shelf at MSRP.
Is it that different than the regular Blanco (also delicious). I was guessing it was just similar to the regular at 46% rather than 40%,

But Al wonāt ship!
Its a big difference in flavor profile and texture.
Arenāt many good high proof Blancos out there, basically Fortaleza, G4, and Terralta.
Maybe Iāll buy a bottle if it stays in stock. Not sure how much I need a high proof Blanco, though maybe it will scratch an itch.

Al is too much of a Boy Scout to ship booze.

Made a riff on The Last Word, little more Mezcal as I donāt like sweeter cocktails.
2oz. 400 Conejos Mezcal
1oz. Maraschino Liqueur
1oz. Chartreuse
1oz. lime juice
Killer.
Made a 3/4th version with Vida. pretty good, still a bit sweet.
What are they charging for it down there?
Found a small liquor store in an out of the way town, picked up another Fortaleza Reposado, and El Tesoro reposado single barrel. I really donāt need more tequila lol.
Blanco $55 usd
Still $70
Interesting, not cheaper there.
Can you move to Cognac next?
