Don Fulano Reposado
Don Fulano · La Tequileña (NOM 1146)
Don Fulano's reposado demonstrates the power of restraint. Six months in French Limousin oak is just enough to round the edges without burying the agave. The Fonseca family's fifth-generation commitment to estate-grown agave shows in the purity of flavor. This is a reposado for people who want oak as a supporting actor, not a lead.
Nose
Bright cooked agave and citrus dominate, with white pepper and a subtle herbaceous quality. A gentle vanilla note from the oak aging sits beneath.
Palate
Medium-bodied with clean agave sweetness, joined by butter and a touch of honey. The oak influence is deft — just enough to add vanilla and a light butterscotch without masking the agave character. Mineral undertones provide structure.
Finish
Medium length with lingering pepper, cooked agave, and a faint grassy freshness that recalls the blanco origins.
