Don Julio FAQs

What is the difference between Blanco, Reposado and 1942?

Blanco is bottled without ageing, so it tastes of fresh agave and citrus. Reposado is rested in oak for about eight months, adding vanilla and caramel. Don Julio 1942 is an añejo aged longer for a richer, toffee-like flavour.

Where is Don Julio tequila made?

Don Julio is made in the town of Atotonilco el Alto in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The brand has been based there since Don Julio González began distilling in 1942.

How should I drink Don Julio 1942?

Don Julio 1942 is made for sipping. Pour it neat into a small glass at room temperature, or over one large ice cube. Its caramel and vanilla notes go well with chocolate desserts or a good coffee.
