Don Fulano Añejo is a finely aged tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, made from 100% Blue Weber agave, which is only harvested when the plants are at least 10 years old and perfectly mature. After distillation, this tequila is aged for at least two and a half years in used French wine barrels, with some resting for up to five years! The interaction between the agave and the wood is simply divine. Bravo!

The Producer – The Fonseca Family:
Behind Don Fulano stands the Fonseca family, a dedicated agricultural family for at least five generations. In the 1960s, they shifted focus from grains and fruit entirely to Blue Agave (Agave tequilana). Sustainability and responsibility are core to the family’s ethos, and they have little regard for the massive industrial factories that have increasingly dominated the agave market.
Today, the family’s exceptional tequila is produced at the La Tequilena distillery in Jalisco, always from 100% agave and without any additives. Uniquely, Don Fulano uses both a column still and a traditional copper pot still, blending the two in just the right proportion, typically around 85% from the pot still, to create a tequila of remarkable depth and character.
