Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca, of Fuenteseca and Cimarron Tequilas, was raised in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where his family was contracted to produce agave for several of the world’s largest tequila producers. After the companies defaulted on their contracts, Enrique decided to do the only logical thing when you possess a wealth of maturing agave: buy a distillery. After extensive research, and a visit to Scotland, Enrique devised a unique method of producing tequila with his unconventional alembic and column stills, making a well-rounded and complex tequila, which he continues to do to this day.

Enrique will be joining us to present a tasting on the relationship between agave and wood, as his Fuenteseca tequila is setting a new benchmark for experiencing the world of Anejo. Please join us in tasting and learning about several of the Fuenteseca Anejo tequilas, with each age expression having a unique base blend of both pot and column non-diffuser agave distillates, as well as differing cooperage and barrel finishes. Light bites will also be provided by our kitchen, and following the experience, we invite you to stay at the Library and enjoy a nightcap or two around our fireplace.
