Don Julio Tequila
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Tequila is a blue agave distillate produced exclusively in designated regions of Mexico, most notably the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, where Don Julio González established his distillery in 1942. All expressions here are made from 100 percent blue agave, with aging category driving the primary distinctions - the Reposado rests in American white oak to develop dried fruit and light spice, while Don Julio 1942 extends that aging further into deeper caramel and toasted oak territory. Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino undergoes charcoal filtration after aging, stripping color while retaining mature complexity. Limited releases like Primavera and Rosado Reposado incorporate secondary finishing in wine and rosé casks respectively, layering floral and berry notes onto the agave base. The standard Reposado represents the most approachable entry point, while the 1942 Magnum anchors the upper register.
