Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte Tequila 100 Proof

The Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte Tequila is a high-proof (50% ABV / 100 proof) un-aged tequila that is highly regarded for its intense flavor and complexity. Here’s a breakdown of its key characteristics:

Key Features:

• Type: Blanco Tequila (Silver), bottled at a higher proof.
• Agave Source: 100% Blue Weber Agave, estate-grown in the Highlands of Jalisco (Atotonilco). Only mature “Maduro” and “Pinto” agaves are hand-selected.
• Production Process:
  • Agave is slow-cooked in steam ovens (hornos).
  • Juice extraction using a self-engineered screw press.
  • Open-tank fermentation using proprietary yeast.
  • Unique dual distillation process: approximately 80% in copper pot stills and 20% in a Coffey (column) still.
  • Rested in stainless steel tanks.
  • Natural spring volcanic water is used.
  • Additive-free, verified by Tequila Matchmaker.
• NOM: 1146 (La Tequileña distillery).
• Master Distiller: Enrique Fonseca, blended by Sergio Mendoza.
• ABV: 50% (100 proof).

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Intensely aromatic, with strong notes of cooked sweet agave, often accompanied by pepper, earth, and minerals. Some detect fruitiness (like pear or plum), citrus (lime, orange peel), herbal notes (sage, mint, grassy), and even a hint of brine or olive.
• Palate: A big and spicy hit to start, with peppery agave and cinnamon. As the intensity subsides, notes of vanilla, earth, apple, melon, and savory green herbs appear. Some find a slight bitterness balanced by sweetness.
• Finish: Very long and warming, often with lingering mint and peppery spice. The cooked agave notes shine through, sometimes with a touch of sweetness.

Overall Impression:

Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte is considered a powerful and flavorful blanco that beautifully showcases the quality of the agave and the traditional production methods. The higher proof amplifies the aromas and flavors, making it a standout expression. It’s excellent for sipping neat by those who appreciate a bolder tequila, and its robust character also makes it ideal for crafting premium cocktails where the agave flavor needs to shine through.
