Don Fulano Anejo (750Ml)

Description

Don Fulano Añejo comes from the Fonseca family, who have grown agave for five generations. Their story with the plant goes back more than 140 years, with roots in Atotonilco in the Jalisco highlands. For a long time they sold their crop to other tequila makers. In the 1980s, after years of agave shortages, they opened their own distillery. It is called La Tequileña, and it sits in the town of Tequila.

Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca spent time with spirit makers across Europe. He came home with a deep respect for patience and simple methods. That shows in the short ingredient list. Each batch starts with hand-picked agave, a house yeast and natural volcanic water. Nothing else is added, so the agave stays clear and honest.

This Don Fulano Añejo is a blend of tequilas aged at least 30 months in French Limousin oak. Some of the blend rests for up to five years. The family uses both new and used casks, and some of the used ones once held wine. The wood adds color and depth, but it never hides the agave.

Raise the glass and you will find banana bread, vanilla and soft oak over cooked agave. The palate brings more agave, along with dried fruit and warm spice like allspice and cardamom. The finish is long and dry, and the spice lingers gently over a light menthol lift.

This is a fine añejo to sip slowly after dinner. Pour it neat in a small snifter, or over one large ice cube. It goes well with dark chocolate, aged cheese or grilled meat.
