About the product
Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte is a high-proof, additive-free blanco tequila crafted from estate-grown mature Blue Weber agave in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Known as one of the original overproof tequilas introduced to the U.S. market, it is naturally fermented, distilled in copper pot stills, and bottled at still-strength-like proof to preserve the full intensity of agave character, minerality, and terroir. Despite its higher proof, it is recognized for its balance, complexity, and smooth sipping profile.
