When describing Don Julio 1942, plebian adjectives like “special” don’t do this luxury tequila justice. The Don Julio brand is arguably the most well-known tequila in the world, and Don Julio 1942 helped define the tequila market as you know it today. Don Julio 1942 is an Añejo tequila, a category that demands a small-batch, prolonged aging process leading to a richer, smoother product — no limes or salt needed.
The famous brand’s 1942 tequila ages for more than two years (which is quite a bit longer than other Añejo varieties) in Kentucky bourbon barrels, an artisanal process that creates a truly memorable yet delicate tasting experience.
