Born from a legendary celebration and aged to perfection, Don Julio 1942 Anejo Tequila is a tribute to the year Don Julio Gonzalez first began crafting tequila in the highlands of Jalisco.


Produced at Diageo Mexico Operaciones under NOM 1449 in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, this anejo is crafted from mature blue agave plants and aged for a minimum of two and a half years in American white oak barrels, developing a richness that sets it apart in the premium tequila category.


  • Nose: Warm caramel, cooked agave, toasted oak, and sweet vanilla
  • Palate: Cooked agave with layered notes of toasty oak, vanilla, and dark chocolate
  • Finish: Long and lingering with a smooth, satisfying warmth

Don Julio 1942 shines in an Old Fashioned where its caramel and vanilla depth takes center stage, and it is equally at home in a Tequila Sour, where citrus brightens its rich, chocolatey character.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the complexity unfold; crafted from blue agave in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico.

Don Julio is named for Don Julio González, who founded his La Primavera distillery in Atotonilco el Alto, in the Jalisco Highlands, in 1942. Jimador families who have worked with the brand for three generations harvest the agave plant by plant. The piñas are cooked in masonry ovens, fermented with a yeast strain Don Julio developed himself, and distilled twice in pot stills. He was among the first to age tequila beyond the standard rules. Ultima Reserva is made from the last agave field he planted with his family, in 2006.
LOCATION

Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco

Atotonilco el Alto sits on the southern edge of Los Altos de Jalisco, where the land rises from about 1,600 to 2,200 meters above the Ciénega plain. Its Nahuatl name means place of hot water, after the warm springs around town. Blue agave grows across the surrounding farmland in clay soils over volcanic basalt, and tequila making is the municipality's largest industry and employer. Highland agave from here is known for a sweet, fruity and floral profile.
