Don Julio González was the founder of Don Julio Tequila, who began distilling in 1942 with a passion for creating exceptional tequila, prioritizing quality above all else.
Don Julio offers a range of tequilas including Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, 70 Cristalino, 1942, and Real, each with its unique aging and flavor profile.
Don Julio uses 100% blue weber agave, primarily sourced from the rich, clay soils of the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, known for producing sweeter agave.
Don Julio 1942 is an Añejo tequila aged for at least 2.5 years in American white oak barrels. It's renowned for its rich caramel, vanilla, and roasted agave notes, offering a luxurious and smooth sipping experience.
While some expressions are versatile for cocktails, premium Don Julio tequilas like 1942 and Real are best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate their complex flavors.
