The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1942 by Don Julio González, who revolutionized the tequila industry by choosing quality over quantity at every step. He planted his agave plants further apart to let them mature fully and designed the iconic short bottle so guests could see each other across the table.

How it is made

Handcrafted at the historic La Primavera distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, this liquid is aged in select American white oak barrels. This expression pays tribute to the year its founder began perfecting his craft, setting a new standard for luxury tequila.
