Don Julio Anejo Tequila 38% 700ml

Don Julio Gonzalez founded his first tequila distillery in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, in 1942 when he was only 17. Since then, his name has become synonymous with luxury tequila. The distillery hand selects every one of its blue agaves at the peak of their sweetness and ripeness—waiting up to 12 years before harvesting. Rich clay soils and larger planting spaces help to ensure maximum nutrition and sunlight, resulting a sweeter Agave for premium tequila production. The Agaves are then slowly cooked in masonry ovens at Don Julio's 'La Primavera' Distillery, where the juice that is obtained is subsequently double distilled. Don Julio Añejo Tequila is meticulously crafted and matured for at least 18 months in American oak barrels, enabling the flavours to ripen to perfection. The end product is a smooth and refined spirit that is easy to consume. With flavours of cooked agave, wild honey, and oak-infused butterscotch, it provides a really decadent taste experience. This tequila has a gorgeous straw gold hue with touches of amber, catching the eye before you take a drink. On the tongue, it offers a wonderful combination of sweet and flowery flavours, including pear, spice, white pepper, oak, and a faint trace of cigar. The finish is lengthy and slightly chewy, making a lingering impact.
