Don Julio Añejo Tequila

Crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Don Julio Añejo Tequila undergoes a maturation of eighteen months in small American white oak barrels. This extended ageing process encourages a balanced interaction between spirit and wood, resulting in a complex structure and expressive aromatic profile. The core distillate is produced from fully matured blue agave plants, individually hand-cut and harvested following time-honoured agricultural practices. A double distillation refines this rich base, while slow-cooked piñas release deep aromas of wild honey, caramel and dried fruit. On the nose, notes of candied citrus, lime and mandarin, combine with hints of soft caramel. The palate is structured around cooked agave and subtle wood tannins, complemented by vanilla, wild honey and a trace of butterscotch. The finish is lively and slightly spiced, highlighting both the cask influence and the elegance of long maturation.
