Don Fulano Fuerte Tequila
Don Fulano Fuerte Tequila is the boldest expression in the Don Fulano lineup: a high-proof blanco bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof) in a 750mL bottle, uncut and full of character. "Fuerte" means "strong," and it delivers — the same 100% estate-grown Highland agave and additive-free distillation as the house blanco, taken at full strength for connoisseurs and agave-forward cocktails. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Original Overproof
Fuerte is one of a kind: an overproof blanco tequila that stays mellow where others burn. Distilled in copper alembics at La Tequileña from agave grown on the Fonseca family's own Highland fields, it brings a direct connection to the agave fields — terroir, patient fermentation, and masterful distillation — at a strength that lets every layer show.
Tasting Notes
Profoundly aromatic: intense agave, jasmine, and orange blossom with earthy terroir and spice. The palate is full-bodied and generous — bold agave, tropical fruit, floral notes, and warming black pepper — with a finish that is full, prolonged, and surprisingly smooth for 100 proof.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat if you are a seasoned tequila drinker — it is beautifully balanced at full strength. In cocktails it is unbeatable: a Fuerte margarita or ranch water carries agave intensity through citrus and soda that would flatten a standard-proof blanco.
