    Now in a limited release 1.75 Litre bottle, the large magnum bottle adds a sense of grandeur to any occasion, a perfect choice for celebrations or as a distinguished gift.

    This añejo tequila is aged up to 32 months in recharged American white oak ex bourbon barrels but is said to be at least two-and-a-half years old - just 6 months short of qualifying to be termed an extra añejo. It is distilled in pot still No.6, a small still filling just 3 barrels per distillation.

    1942 commemorates the year that the eponymous late Don Julio González started making tequila and it was launched in 2002 to commemorate the 60 anniversary. It is presented in an elongated amber bottle shaped to resemble an agave leaf. The present bottle and gift box was released in 2010, the original had lighter and greener coloured glass and was slightly more squat with a black and white photograph of Don Julio himself gracing the top of an agave-shaped leaf label. The old bottle was good but the new, sleeker more elegant bottle is even more impressive. The Don Julio 1942 Anejo Tequila is a two wine gold medalist at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2020 and 2022.

    Aged tequila can be a funny beast. Often the grassy agave notes are accentuated, sometimes they’re lost to the wood. In this case, the initial aromatics are floral and sweet fruit, almost like a cognac. Rose, pear, vanilla and brown sugar hit up front, with agave and a rich wet oak note following. On the palate, there's a sweetness, though here the agave grassiness is more pronounced. Up front on the lips and gums are tannic spices and vanilla from the oak; mid-palate, it sits with a medium weight and slight chewiness with hints of apricot, agave, vanilla and clove. The very long finish is one that some might not find to their liking, but others certainly will. There's a menthol brightness tempered with unctuous grapefruit, agave, wood and white pepper.

    Don Julio

    Don Julio González wasn't your average tequila producer. In 1942, he embarked on a mission to create a tequila that reflected his unwavering dedication to quality and innovation. Don Julio revolutionised tequila production methods, meticulously hand-selecting the finest blue agave plants from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. These agaves, meticulously grown for seven to ten years, are harvested at their peak ripeness to ensure the fullest expression of flavor. This dedication to quality continues today, with Don Julio Tequilas remaining a benchmark for excellence in the tequila industry.

    Don Julio Tequila is not just a brand; it is a symbol of Mexican heritage and craftsmanship. It is a tequila that has been celebrated and enjoyed by tequila connoisseurs and enthusiasts around the world.
