Tasting Notes
- Nose: Initial smells of sweet caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Then hints of roasted agave and tropical fruit emerge.
- Palate: A smooth, full-bodied taste. Warm oak, butterscotch, and spiced vanilla stand out. Dark chocolate and roasted nuts add depth and complexity to the flavour.
- Finish: Savour a long, elegant finish. Vanilla and oak spice linger with a gentle, peppery touch.
- Colour: Enjoy the deep, amber-gold shade. It glows with clear brilliance from careful ageing.
Perfect Pairing
Sip it neat in a warm glass or pair it with dark chocolate or aged cheeses. We think this will enhance any occasion.
Product Heritage
The Don Julio 1942 is only created in small batches and follows a ‘nothing but the best’ process. Firstly, the farmers hand-select the Blue Weber agave plants at peak ripeness for the best sugar content. It is slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens to develop a rich, sweet flavour.
The roasted agave piñas are then crushed to extract the juice, which is then fermented and double-distilled. Finally, the spirit ages in American white oak barrels for at least 2.5 years. This careful and unusually lengthy process gives this tequila a unique taste, golden hue and smooth texture.
