Don Fulano Blanco Tequila

Don Fulano Blanco Tequila is made by the Fonseca family, fifth-generation agave farmers who grow their own Blue Weber agave on their estate in Atotonilco. The agaves are left to mature for ten years before harvest, and the tequila is produced at the La Tequileña distillery with proprietary yeast and natural volcanic spring water, then double distilled.

Rather than being bottled straight away, the new spirit rests for 60 days in stainless steel. The nose shows sweet, freshly cooked agave hearts with herbal touches, black pepper, butterscotch and a hint of savoury olive. On the palate, peppery agave spice leads, supported by spearmint, rosemary, aniseed and fresh citrus. The finish is long for an unaged spirit, with sweetness and green herbs. Sip it neat or use it as the base for a Margarita or Paloma.
