help Don Julio FAQ
What is the difference between Don Julio Blanco and Don Julio Reposado?
Don Julio Blanco is unaged and bottled immediately after distillation, offering crisp agave and citrus notes. Reposado, on the other hand, is aged in American white-oak bourbon barrels for eight months, which gives it a golden color and hints of vanilla and caramel.
How long is Don Julio 1942 aged?
Don Julio 1942 is an extra-añejo tequila that is aged for a minimum of two and a half years. It is produced in small batches to celebrate the year that Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey.
Where is Don Julio tequila produced?
Don Julio is distilled and bottled in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, specifically at the La Prieta distillery (NOM 1449). The highland region is famous for producing rich, sweet blue Weber agave due to its mineral-rich red soil.
Does Don Julio use a diffuser to extract agave sugars?
No, Don Julio is known for its traditional production methods, which entirely avoid the use of industrial diffusers. They slow-cook their hand-harvested agave in traditional brick masonry ovens, which yields a deeper, roasted flavor profile compared to autoclave extraction.
