Don Fulano Imperial Extra Añejo Review
We often celebrate aged expressions for not taking on too much character from their maturation vessels, but Don Fulano’s Imperial Extra Añejo flips that idea on its head. This category of tequila, aged for a minimum of three years legally, and five years in this case, actively aims to showcase oak. Once again, and most importantly, vibrant and enticing agave is the star of the show. But it’s matched — almost equally — by French Limousin oak and Oloroso sherry casks. The outcome: a decadent, complex, world-class sipper. Sure, you have to think of this as a completely different beast to blanco, reposado, or añejo. But at that point, it starts to make so much sense and you’ll be completely swept away by it.
