Don Fulano A±ejo¬†is a marriage of very old tequilas aged in French limousine and nevers oak casks that previously held wines. It’s deep and complex with dried fruits and spice elements like cardamom and allspice which complement elegantly the right touch of sweetness that comes from slowly cooked mature agave. Honey and caramelized nuts emerge from a long finish together with a refreshing light menthol. Great to wrap up a nice dinner.

Lavish spice elements like cardamom and allspice emerge.

Don Fulano is the result of a deep dive into the elements that make tequila one of the greatest spirits, distilled into a product over decades of trial and error by Enrique and Sergio, who are 4th and 5th generation agave growers and 30+ year distillers. It’s born from the desire to achieve a product that is at the same time artisanal, driven by its terroir, with all the complexities of a natural, authentic tequila, but also with the structure, elegance, and sophistication of a world class spirit.

Don Fulano is the product of Enrique Fonseca and Sergio Mendoza Fonseca, 4th generation agave farmers and distillers. Their story begins in the town of Atotonilco in the Highlands of Jalisco, home to some of the most appreciated tequilas, where their great grandfathers began cultivating agave 140 years ago. Descendants of Portuguese immigrants, the Fonseca’s came to the highlands where they became well known farmers, owning the main bodega in the heart of town where they traded with the essentials; flour, coffee, grains, dairy products and meats of different sorts, most of which they farmed and produced in their ranches around town. In the late 1800s, the Fonseca’s started planting agave to supply the first tequila distillers that established in the highlands; Tres Magueyes which later became Don Julio, El Centenario and La Vencedora, two distilleries that produce the renowned Siete Leguas and El Viejito. As the years unfolded, their love for agave made their estate grow becoming major agave farmers in the region and later in the state, suppling agave to most tequila producers, both in the highlands as in the valleys.
