Don Fulano Tequila

Don Fulano is of the last family-owned tequilas that is 100% self-sufficient in agave supply, allowing them to control the quality of their tequila from farm to bottle. They hand-select mature agave each harvest to a dual distillation process passed down from generations. This also helps ensure each bottle has high-quality ingredients free of any additives, including 100% estate-grown, mature agave, proprietary yeast and natural spring volcanic water.

The Don Fulano portfolio features five expressions: Blanco, Fuerte, Reposado, Añejo and Imperial, ranging from $54.99 to $219.99 and can be found at ReserveBar, Total Wine, Sip Tequila and more.
