Don Fulano Blanco Tequila

Don Fulano · Tequilera Corralejo / NOM 1146

80 proofNASJalisco, Mexico
Don Fulano's blanco is a study in discipline. Nothing shouts, nothing hides. The agave is allowed to speak clearly, supported by a clean distillation that lets varietal character shine. An exceptional mixing tequila that's equally compelling neat.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean cooked agave and bright citrus — lime and grapefruit — with an herbal mint quality and a hint of white pepper. A subtle mineral earthiness sits underneath.

Palate

Crisp and focused, with agave sweetness balanced by grass and green pepper notes. Citrus runs through the center, and there's a pleasant yeasty, bread-like quality that adds body.

Finish

Medium, with a clean agave fade, a flicker of white pepper, and lingering citrus peel.

Rum

Ron Zacapa Edición Negra

Ron Zacapa

Edición Negra takes Zacapa's high-altitude solera system and pushes it toward heavier charred casks, producing a darker, more brooding rum than its siblings. The result is a spirit that trades some of the Centenario 23's honeyed charm for genuine complexity and a savory edge. Whether you sip it neat or pair it with a robust dessert, this is rum built for contemplation.

Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Michter's

Michter's 10 Year exemplifies the discipline of selecting barrels that can handle a full decade without tipping into over-oaked bitterness. This is bourbon that rewards slow sipping — each minute in the glass unlocks new layers. A benchmark for what extended aging should accomplish in Kentucky whiskey.

Don Pilar Añejo Tequila

Don Pilar

Don Pilar's Añejo delivers genuine agave character that has been shaped, not masked, by eighteen months in oak. This is añejo the way it should be done — the wood serves the spirit, not the other way around. At its price point, it competes well above its weight class, offering depth and balance that many pricier añejos struggle to achieve.

Jensen's Old Tom London Gin

Jensen's

Christian Jensen spent years researching nineteenth-century recipes to reconstruct an authentic Old Tom profile. The result is not a novelty — it is a genuine revival, offering a window into what gin tasted like before London Dry became the dominant style. Essential for anyone building a historically informed Martinez or Tom Collins.
