Don Fulano Añejo Tequila

Product Description

Don Fulano Añejo Tequila: Thirty Months in French Oak, and the Agave Still Shows

An añejo should taste like tequila that spent time in a barrel, not a barrel that spent time near tequila. Don Fulano Añejo Tequila is made by the Fonseca family from 100% blue Weber agave at La Tequileña in Tequila, Jalisco, fermented in open tanks with a proprietary yeast, and distilled in a mix of copper pot and column stills. The tequila is then aged at least 30 months in French Limousin and Nevers oak casks that previously held wine, with no additives, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The brand describes aromas of baked banana, tropical citrus, and dried harvest fruit, a palate with cardamom and allspice against the sweetness of slowly cooked agave, and a long finish of honey, caramelized nuts, and a light, refreshing menthol. Reviewers add vanilla, caramel, black pepper, and chocolate, and say it’s oak-forward without drowning the agave. It’s a sipping tequila, and it also holds up in a Tequila Old Fashioned, with a large cube. It’s a gift for the tequila drinker who has moved past the usual añejos, a good step up from a reposado, and a bottle that gets along with whiskey fans. Don Fulano has been made by the Fonseca family since 2000, with generations of agave farming behind it.
