Don Fulano Fuerte 100 Proof Blanco Tequila 50% 700ml

The Fonseca family settled in Atotonilco, in the Highlands of Jalisco, in the late nineteenth century — the family patriarch was a Portuguese immigrant who began planting blue agave to supply the established tequila distillers of Jalisco. Across four to five generations, the family worked as agave growers rather than distillers, supplying fruit to the broader tequila trade. In the 1970s the family decided to acquire their own distillery rather than build one from scratch, and bought La Tequileña (NOM 1146) in Tequila town — a distillery with over a hundred years of operating history.

Enrique Fonseca (4th generation) and Sergio Mendoza (5th generation) now run the operation; both are 30+-year distillers as well as agave growers. Not finding the technical depth he wanted within the Jalisco tequila community, Enrique studied in Europe — wine spirit production in France, distillation methods and still styles in Scotland. The current Don Fulano range carries that European technical influence: additive-free, single-estate, with high-proof Fuerte expressions alongside the standard Blanco / Reposado / Añejo / Extra Añejo tier.
