Don Fulano 20 Aniversario

20 Aniversario from Don Fulano is a tequila, which means it is made from blue Weber agave. The details on file don't say whether it is a blanco, reposado, añejo or extra añejo, so the character described here is what to expect from the style rather than a measured profile of this bottle. The name marks an anniversary release, and bottlings like that are usually pitched at slower drinking than a house pour. Check the label for the aging designation and the stated ABV before you decide how to serve it. The aging category decides most of the flavor. A blanco is unaged or rested only briefly, so expect cooked agave, citrus peel, black pepper and a green, vegetal edge. A reposado spends two months to a year in oak and picks up light vanilla and caramel while keeping the agave in front. An añejo, at one to three years, moves toward baking spice, dried fruit and toasted wood. An extra añejo, past three years, is rounder and darker, with cocoa, tobacco and dried orange and less raw agave. An anniversary tequila from a named producer more often sits toward the aged end, but that is a pattern, not something this listing confirms. If the label shows reposado or older, pour it neat. A caballito, a tall narrow Mexican tequila shot glass, is the traditional choice, though a small tulip glass or Glencairn gives you more aroma. Serve it at room temperature and add a splash of water or a single large cube only if the alcohol feels sharp. Skip salt and lime with aged tequila, because they cover the oak and sweetness you paid for. Orange slices or dark chocolate go well alongside. If the label shows blanco, it is more flexible. It works in a Margarita, where a 2:1:1 mix of tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur lets the agave show. It also suits a Paloma, built over ice in a highball with grapefruit soda and a pinch of salt on the rim, and a Ranch Water, which is tequila, fresh lime and sparkling mineral water over plenty of ice in a tall glass. Reposado also holds up in a Margarita and gives it a warmer, rounder finish. An añejo or extra añejo is better in an Old Fashioned-style drink with agave syrup and bitters, or kept for sipping.
