Don Julio1942® TEQUILA
Celebrated in exclusive cocktail bars, restaurants and nightclubs, the iconic Don Julio 1942® Tequila is the choice of connoisseurs around the globe. Produced in small batches and aged for a minimum of two and a half years, Don Julio 1942® Tequila is handcrafted in tribute to the year that Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey.
“Don Julio 1942 was created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the maker’s first distillery. It’s aged in oak barrels for between two to two and a half years. While it was originally slated to be a “limited” run, it’s been around for years now.”
“I do like the occasional disconnect between scent and taste, but on the whole, I appreciate it when they have more in common. 1942 has scent notes of caramel, vanilla, and citrus. Thankfully, its taste matches up with caramel, vanilla, citrus, and mild herbs. The citrus and herbs really come from the flesh of the agave piña, and the rest of the flavor notes come from the barrel. And those barrel notes are glorious. The smoothness of oak and the roundness of toasted nuts are slight, but are present. The heavier burnt sugar and vanilla notes mask the subtleties, but they open up after the first sip.”
“Speaking of sips: this is a true sipping tequila. One ounce in a brandy snifter; neat. Swirl and enjoy the nose. Sip and enjoy the flavors. Swallow and enjoy a mellow, smooth, slightly sweet ride through the rolling hills of Jalisco near Atotonilco El Alto.”
