Process & Aging

Don Fulano 20th Anniversary Añejo Tequila was created from a blend of three different tequila batches, bringing together individual characteristics to create a more complex final expression.

Production begins with mature Blue Weber agave from Jalisco. Don Fulano's approach emphasizes mature agave as the foundation of the spirit, followed by natural fermentation and distillation in copper.

For this special anniversary expression, the tequila is matured using Oloroso and Amontillado sherry casks. These casks introduce additional layers of dried fruit, nuttiness, spice, and richness while complementing the cooked agave character of the underlying tequila.

Rather than bottling the anniversary release at the standard 40% ABV used for many Don Fulano expressions, it is presented at a higher 44.4% ABV (88.8 proof), providing greater concentration, texture, and intensity.

Appearance

Rich golden amber with deep copper highlights, reflecting its maturation and the influence of the Oloroso and Amontillado sherry casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Complex and mature with distinctive notes of apricot, old leather, cacao, and truffle, supported by dried fruit and subtle barrel character.

Palate: Rich cooked agave remains at the center, accompanied by orange blossom, prune, and cardamom. The sherry casks contribute additional dried-fruit character and complexity without overwhelming the underlying tequila.

Finish: Long and earthy with a gentle sweetness and delicate floral undertones, allowing the mature agave, fruit, spice, and cask influence to gradually unfold.

What Makes It Special

Don Fulano 20th Anniversary Añejo was created specifically to commemorate the brand's first two decades and was released as a limited, one-time bottling.

Rather than simply producing another version of the standard Don Fulano Añejo, the anniversary release brings together three distinct tequila batches and introduces maturation in Oloroso and Amontillado sherry casks.

Oloroso casks are particularly associated with rich, nutty, and dried-fruit characteristics, while Amontillado can contribute additional dryness, nuttiness, and complexity. Combined with Don Fulano's mature agave-driven spirit, these casks create a profile that remains recognizably tequila while displaying an unusual range of fruit, cacao, floral, earthy, and savory characteristics.

The elevated 88.8-proof bottling strength further separates this release from the standard Don Fulano Añejo, providing additional concentration and structure.

For collectors and enthusiasts of Don Fulano, it represents a distinctive snapshot of the brand's first 20 years and a departure from the maturation profile of its core expressions.

How to Enjoy

Don Fulano 20th Anniversary Añejo Tequila is best enjoyed neat in a tequila glass, copita, or small spirits glass.

Allow the tequila to rest in the glass for several minutes before tasting. As it opens, additional layers of dried fruit, cooked agave, cacao, floral character, spice, and sherry-cask influence can emerge.

Because this is a one-time anniversary expression with a distinctive cask profile, it is particularly well suited for slow sipping and comparing alongside the standard Don Fulano Añejo.

Its combination of dried fruit, cacao, leather, spice, and earthy character also makes it an excellent after-dinner tequila.

Don Fulano places mature agave at the center of its approach, combining careful fermentation, copper distillation, maturation, and blending to create expressions that retain the agricultural character of tequila.
