Dama Fortuna Tequila: A Fusion of Scotch and Mexican Artistry
There’s a new spirit on the scene, and it’s bringing a bit of luck, a lot of flavor, and a deep respect for tradition.

Their debut release, Dama Fortuna Blanco Tequila, is an 80-proof premium blanco made with 100% Blue Weber Agave and priced accessibly at $45.99 for a 750ml bottle.
Dama Fortuna isn’t just another tequila; it’s the result of a passion project fueled by industry veterans with more than 100 years of combined experience. Euan Shand, a longtime name in the Scotch whisky world, brings his legacy to tequila, along with his wife, Moji, and partner Peter Currie.

Crafted using traditional methods, including brick oven cooking, open-air fermentation, and double distillation, this non-chill-filtered blanco is made from fully mature agave grown on a single, high-altitude estate. The result?
