Don Julio 1942 Tequila

Don Julio 1942 Tequila is a luxury Anejo Tequila crafted as a tribute to the year Don Julio Gonzalez began his tequila-making journey. Produced in Mexico by Diageo, this exceptional spirit is made using 100% Tequilana Weber Blue Agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco (Los Altos). The agave is slowly cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens, then extracted using a roller mill before fermented in stainless steel tanks with deep, healthy water. It undergoes double distillation in stainless pot stills with copper coils to achieve extraordinary smoothness.

Aged for two and a half years in a blend of used American White Oak and Bourbon Barrels, Don Julio 1942 reveals a rich, deep character. This Anejo Tequila delivers bold yet elegant notes of roasted agave, warm oak, and vanilla, layered with undertones of pepper, cinnamon, and hints of caramelized tropical fruits. The result is a velvety sipping tequila that's beloved in exclusive bars, upscale restaurants, and nightclubs worldwide.

It is often asked, "What makes Don Julio 1942 so special?" The answer lies in its handcrafted process, minor batch aging, and meticulous attention to every production stage, from agave harvest to barrel aging for two and a half years, which sets it apart from typical tequilas. This 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) spirit is best enjoyed neat in a snifter or over ice to appreciate its complexity fully.

Smooth and sophisticated, Don Julio 1942 is gluten-free and gift-suitable, making it a standout choice for celebrations or connoisseurs seeking a premium tequila experience.
