Don Fulano Fuerte is 100 proof. And you WILL notice the difference between this and an 80 proof blanco. The aroma of cooked agave is nice and is followed by the initial taste of agave and peppery spice. I agree with MrA that the finish is long with a touch of mint; but the alcohol is so overpowering in the finish that the subtle sweetness cannot be fully enjoyed. I was actually surprised at the smoothness, however, and expected more of a bite. When allowed to linger in the mouth before swallowing, there is virtually no burn at all.
In terms of flavor and overall enjoyability, I see no reason to drink Fuerte over Don Fulano's 80 proof blanco. If your chief concern is getting drunk in a hurry, this will certainly do the trick; although there are cheaper methods available.
