Nose: hints of cooked agave, dried fruit, raisins, orange citrus, light barrel notes, and sherry in the background Flavor: cooked agave sweetness, dried fruit, nuts, vanilla, caramel, salinity, and very well balanced, and nice mouth feel Finish: is long with some black pepper spice, barrel notes and hints of sherry
Don fulano 20 yr Tasted a sample Sept 16, 2023 Courtesy of Greg, Lou and Seattle Juan. Muchas gracias amigos for sharing! Nose: fruit agave bown sugar cinnamon, sherry comes thru on the nose, a little minerality. Not a lot of oak, which I like. Palate: mellow sweet agave, sherry. plums and a little pepper come thru as it opens. Well-balanced. Easy sipper! Color: light; looks like a reposado. Legs: are very nice, slow and thick Finish: sherry comes thru agin. dry with a warmth that lingers.
Super balanced on the nose an in the mouth. Better with some air. Fairly mellow, given the age. Can tell it’s 44%. It’s sweet. Not too sweet. Barrel. Not too much barrel. Caramel. But not too much caramel. The genius blenders at DF have pulled out all the stops here. A tequila worthy of their remarkable 20 year history.

Tasted at LATF. Solid blanco!
From a sample bottle of about 3 ounces in size courtesy of Lou and Greg, gracias you two. Very nice nose right after the small bottle was opened and from the glass when poured. Tasting from a Glencairn Copita glass which has about a five ounce capacity. The sherry finish is very apparent on the nose and yet this also has a dryness that is upfront and really comes forward as the juice is sipped and held in the mouth for any length of time. Very cool stuff that reminds me of some sherry finish single malts I’ve tasted both from WA and other places. Nice tingly finish with some acidity that hangs on the tongue after much of the tequila elements have passed on. Bravo 1146 and Salud for Veinte Años.
