The story behind it

The maker

Don Julio was founded in 1942 by Don Julio González, who revolutionized the tequila industry by prioritizing quality over quantity. He pioneered planting agave farther apart to allow optimal growth and designing the iconic short tequila bottle to let guests see each other across the table.

How it is made

This tequila is produced at the historic Destilería La Primavera in the Highlands of Jalisco. It is aged for eighteen months in American white-oak barrels, which imparts its distinctively rich and smooth flavor profile.
