Don Fulano Blanco (750Ml)

Description

Don Fulano Blanco comes from the Fonseca family, who have grown agave in the Jalisco Highlands for five generations. For years they supplied agave to some of the biggest tequila houses. In 1990, Enrique Fonseca took over La Tequileña distillery (NOM 1146) and began making his own.

Enrique studied multi-still distilling in Scotland and France, and it shows in the method. The family grows all its own agave and picks it by hand. Each batch uses just three things: mature agave, a proprietary yeast and natural volcanic spring water. Most of the spirit comes from a copper pot still, with a small share from a double-column still.

The Don Fulano Blanco rests in stainless steel before bottling, so it never touches wood. Unlike flavored tequilas, nothing is added here. The brand is part of the Tequila Matchmaker additive-free program.

The nose brings cooked agave, white pepper and fresh herbs like spearmint, with a clean mineral edge. On the palate you find lemon and lime peel, more pepper and green herbal notes. The finish is gentle and sweet, with soft vanilla and a hint of butterscotch.

Reviewers rate it well. It earned 91 points at the 2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge and a Silver medal in San Francisco that same year. The Beverage Testing Institute scored it 93 points.

Sip it lightly chilled as an aperitif so you can taste the agave. It also brightens a highball, a Paloma or a classic margarita on the rocks.
