Don Fulano Tequila

Reposado ins tock now too!

Don Fulano Tequila Blanco...$51.99
Don Fulano Blanco is a bright and colorful expression of highland agave. It’s fresh on the nose and yet profound with a beautiful elegance. There is harmony between a wide spectrum of aromas that only mature hillside agave offers; a myriad of delicate fruit notes is balanced by a light herbaceousness and a butterscotch oiliness. Reminiscent of damp red soil it opens the senses and awakens the appetite, it almost makes you want to chew it. A great aperitif or quintessence of a great cocktail.

Don Fulano Tequila Reposado...$59.99

Don Fulano Reposado is the great representative of the spirit of Don Fulano: a marriage of mature highland agave with French limousine oak. It’s rich and buttery, yet strangely delicate and ethereal at the same time. Cooked agave fully expresses itself and blends seamlessly with an herbal sweetness, hints of mature fruit compote and dark chocolate. There’s also a slight spice element which emerges from its delicate finish. A joy to sip on its own, paired with food or in a great cocktail.

Don Fulano Tequila Añejo...$87.99
Don Fulano Añejo is a marriage of very old tequilas aged in French limousine and nevers oak casks that previously held wines. It’s deep and complex with dried fruits and spice elements like cardamom and allspice which complement elegantly the right touch of sweetness that comes from slowly cooked mature agave. Honey and caramelized nuts emerge from a long finish together with a refreshing light menthol. Great to wrap up a nice dinner.

Don Fulano Imperial Extra Anejo...$199.99
Don Fulano Imperial is the oldest, exceptionally rich and complex with a great combination of elegance and power. Blended from dark European oak and oloroso sherry casks it’s abundant in fruit notes and spices like clove and cardamom. Deep notes of old leather, tobacco and a lavish aroma of black cherries frame its singular style. It is velvety and permanent in mouth. An exotic delight to sip on its own.

Theodore Rex Whiskey Edition #5 the Celebration of the first 4

"In the heart of Missouri Ozark Highlands, the legacy of whiskey making is woven into the folds of the land.  Our purpose in creating whiskey is to honor or land and its legacy.  Grown with grain from our family farms and made with water from your limestone wells, we are proud that our whiskeys represent the rich heritage of the Ozark Highlands.  This bottle of Celebration unites the four Theodore Rex seasonal releases into one unique blend that celebrates the year gone by and reminds us to savor our history with each sip" - Demetrius Cain, Head Distiller

This one is not a single barrel, or is it?.  It is a blend of our 4 previous barrels blended into one barrel and then bottled.   Demetrius saved 25% of each of the previous and blended them together for one amazing Celebration Whiskey.  

If my math is right, this should be the rough mashbill.  Took the 4 Mashbills of the previous barrels and added them up and divided by 4.

Mashbill

• 38.25% Corn
• 30.5% Rye
• 28% Wheat
• 3.25% Barley

Side Project Merci 2024 Edition

We picked a few barrels at Side Project.  The first release is scheduled for January.  Barrel Aged Imperial Stout  in a Willett 5yr Bourbon Barrel collab with Toppling Goliath.  We will announce release details in January

Side Project Merci 2024 Edition....$14.99 / 375ml

Merci was blended for our friend Paul Hayden at The Wine and Cheese Place in St. Louis. We would like to say “Merci” for all his support of Side Project Brewing by releasing Merci Vintage 2024, a blended Missouri Wild Ale.
For this latest Vintage, we focused on one of our favorite iterations of this beer, Blend #2, by incorporating a rich, funky Lambic-like palate, with our classical Side Project depth, and softness. As we do not blend to volume, only to taste, this batch is much smaller than previous releases and is packaged in 375 mL bottles to make sure we have enough to share. We also bottled this release of Merci in early January and have conditioned it exclusively with Brettanomyces Brux., a process we do not often use, for years of purposeful maturation and development in the bottle. We want this beer to express Side Project and our blending characteristics for years to come as you enjoy it now or later while saying “Merci” to those you are thankful for.

For this release of Heigold Single Barrel, there will be a very limited number of barrels of this exceptional High Rye Double Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon. To accompany this unique offering, our Founder has commissioned a series of six pieces of original art to complete this beautiful package. Each limited numbered edition has an illustration that offers a new interpretation of the timeless characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The result is a true work of art inside and out that could only be bottled at cask strength. 


ABOUT THE ARTIST

2023 release of Heigold Single Barrel features the work of Quincy Sutton, a Los Angeles-based illustrator who was selected to create six original pieces to adorn our bottles. He likens his art to jazz music. Using shapes and colors, but no lines, his illustrations might at seem sporadic and chaotic.

Grapes are harvested when it’s cooler, in fully ripe. Wine making : After destemming, berries are macerated during a few hours, and then are slowly pressed. Then, the derived pressed must is put into thermoregulated stainless steel vats, and fermentation will go on for 10 days or so. Once fermentation is over, wine is matured on lees before bottling.
This rosé wine shows a redcurrant colored robe with light reflections. It has very deep fruit aromas including cherry, raspberry and black berry. Well-structured on the palate, this wine is both nicely full-bodied and delightfully fruity. Wine and food pairing : bbq chicken skewers, paella, pizza and much more.
