TEQUILA - Don Fulano - Reposado - 40%
Don Fulano is a prestigious brand of 100% agave Tequila, produced in Atotonilco, in the iconic Highlands region of Jalisco, Mexico. This exceptional tequila is crafted by the Fonseca family, proud fifth-generation agave experts and master distillers. With Portuguese roots, the Fonsecas have established themselves as key figures in agave farming, owning the main bodega in the heart of the town of Tequila. Since the late 1800s, they have passionately cultivated agave to supply the first local distillers. Their ancestral know-how has been passed down through the decades, making them true specialists, providing exceptional agave to the best tequila producers of the highlands and valleys of Jalisco.
In the 1980s, the Fonseca family took over the La Tequileña Distillery, located downtown, marking a key milestone in their journey. Enrique Fonseca, aware that tequila production required deep expertise, enriched his knowledge by traveling across Europe: in France, he discovered the fundamental role of wine in aging spirits; in Scotland, he mastered the art of distillation and the diversity of stills, thus forging a unique technique that gives Don Fulano its inimitable aromatic profile.
Don Fulano practices innovative fermentations, combining fermentations with and without bagasse, and uses traditional copper stills ensuring depth and authenticity of agave aromas. At the same time, an experimental copper still provides structure and elegance to the tequila. Maturation is carried out exclusively in French Limousin oak barrels and Nevers barrels, previously containing prestigious wines from the Burgundy, Loire, and Bordeaux regions. This aging method gives Don Fulano tequila a unique complexity. The recipe is simple and natural: only three essential ingredients — rigorously hand-selected Maduro and Pinto agave, highly mastered specific yeast, and pure volcanic water from Mexican lands.
Don Fulano Reposado comes from a slow cooking of Maduro and Pinto agaves for 28 to 32 hours, followed by a meticulous extraction using a screw press entirely designed by the distillery. Fermentation lasts 72 to 96 hours in an open tank, rich in natural microorganisms promoting a complex aromatic expression. Distillation combines traditional copper still (80%) and Coffey Still (20%), ensuring a perfect balance between taste and purity. This reposado benefits from aging of 8 to 11 months in French Limousin oak barrels and Nevers barrels, where it develops woody, vanilla, and slightly spicy notes, offering a round, harmonious, and memorable tasting experience.
