Take your love for tequila to the next level by indulging yourself in the flavors of Don Julio 70 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Tequila – the world’s first white anejo tequila!

Founded in 1942 by Don Julio Gonzalez-Frausto Estrada, the Don Julio brand currently stands as the biggest tequila brand in terms of overall value with a reputation for producing top-shelf quality expressions. Over the decades, the brand has developed some very interesting strategies to produce the best tequila possible, the most notable of which has been their practice of leasing farmland. This gave them not only flexibility in choosing the best soils to grow their tequila also allowed them to rotate their crops, giving each agave ample opportunity to develop into the perfect ingredient for tequila production.

Released to commemorate their 70th anniversary, the Don Julio 70 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Tequila is a unique expression that blends time-honored tradition with a thirst for innovation. Made from 100% blue Weber agave, each batch of this premium tequila begins with the agave hearts being harvested by hand before being slowly cooked and then crushed to extract its juices. These juices are then fermented using a special yeast before being distilled with the resulting silver tequila being left to mature in used American white oak barrels for 18 months. Following this maturation process, the aged tequila is then filtered to remove impurities, congeners, and color giving it its crystal-clear appearance before finally being brought to proof and bottled.

On the nose, this tequila greets you with a complex nose of vanilla, caramel, cream, popcorn, cinnamon, green herbs, and minerality. This is then immediately followed rich, sweet, and soft palate of ripe tropical fruits, crisp agave flavors, honey, more vanilla, toasted nuts, and charred oak, all tied together by a light and silky finish of sweet bananas and dark chocolate notes.

Versatile, smooth, and undoubtedly unique, the Don Julio 70 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Tequila is a definite must-try whether you like to enjoy your tequila neat, chilled, or mixed into your favorite cocktails. So get yourself a bottle today and savor the exquisite flavors of the world’s only "claro" tequila all the way to the last drop.
