Don Fulano 100% Agave Reposado Tequila (700ml)

Rested in a combination of new and used French limousine oak barrels for a minimum of eight months and up to two years, Fulano's Reposado is akin to a smoother, more subdued version of the outstanding Blanco. Lightly peppered agave notes bring freshness and vibrancy to the rounded mouthfeel, while moderate oak influence makes for a point of difference in the category, the barrel input being secondary to the agave keynotes. 40% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

Other reviews... Matured for 8 to 11 months in French Limousin oak. Oak aging gives Don Fulano a lift and a twist, but less than you’d expect. Here the tequila takes on a stronger nose of fruit tones, evoking baked apples with a more forceful cinnamon element, with maple underpinning that still-present vanilla character and a considerably lighter green agave element. It’s not quite candylike either on nose or palate, but it’s definitely on the sweet side, and the palate presents a stronger note of caramel-covered apples, shortbread cookies, all dashed with vanilla. The finish is much more tenacious than the blanco, chewier and hinting at the underlying agave in vagaries that pop in and out as the creamy conclusion slowly comes to an end. - drinkhacker.com
