Don Julio 1942 Añejo Tequila 750ml

Don Julio 1942 Añejo Tequila is crafted at the Don Julio Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. This distillery seamlessly blends tradition with modern advancements to create tequilas that embody the true essence of agave. The time-honoured technique of slow-cooking agave piñas in traditional masonry ovens allows the sugars to develop slowly, resulting in a rich and complex flavour profile. This is followed by meticulous fermentation and distillation processes, ensuring the final product is a masterpiece of tequila making. The use of recharged American white oak ex-bourbon barrels for aging adds another layer of sophistication, imparting subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice to the tequila.
