Don Fulano Tequila Collection

The Triumph of Estate Agave and French Cask Mastery

Handcrafted at the historic La Tequileña distillery (NOM 1146) in Tequila, Jalisco, Don Fulano is the culmination of five generations of agave farming by the Fonseca family. Renowned as one of the few remaining 100% estate-grown, additive-free tequila brands, Don Fulano represents a seamless bridge between traditional Mexican agave cultivation and sophisticated European wood-aging techniques.

Sourced exclusively from the high-altitude, iron-rich red soils of Los Altos de Jalisco, mature Blue Weber agaves are slow-cooked in stainless steel autoclaves and fermented using proprietary cultured yeasts. Distilled through a dual combination of traditional copper pot stills and a historic copper column still, the spirit retains its vibrant, cooked-agave purity while developing an extraordinarily elegant, velvety texture.

Distilling Craft & Uncompromising Standards

• 100% Estate-Grown Highland Agave: Grown for 6 to 8 years in the high elevations of Atotonilco and Highland Jalisco, yielding high natural sugar content, bright floral aromatics, and rich earthy minerality.

• Dual Still Processing: A rare blend of heavy copper pot-still spirit (providing body, agave spice, and weight) and refined copper column spirit (adding floral delicacy and silkiness).

• Additive-Free Guarantee: Strictly produced without added sugars, artificial caramel colorings, oak extract, or glycerol, ensuring authentic site expression and clean natural flavor.

• French Oak Barrel Aging: While most tequila relies on ex-bourbon barrels, Don Fulano ages its tequilas predominantly in new and re-charred French Limousin and Nevers oak casks previously housing fine wine and cognac, imparting delicate spice, dried fruit, and silky tannins.

Core Expressions & Portfolio Highlights

• Don Fulano Blanco (40% ABV): Crisp, unaged purity. Crisp and vibrant, bursting with cooked agave, white pepper, fresh floral top-notes, wet stone minerality, and citrus peel.

• Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte (50% ABV / 100 Proof): Overproof expression bottled directly from distillation. Offers explosive agave energy, clove, jasmine, lemongrass, and rich oily texture for craft mixology.

• Don Fulano Reposado: Aged 8 to 11 months in French oak. Harmonizes bright agave brightness with subtle vanilla, toasted macadamia, baked apple, and delicate baking spices.
