Don Julio 1942 Tequila is handcrafted in honor of the year Don Julio González began his journey as a tequila maker. Don Julio González revolutionized the tequila industry in Mexico more than 80 years ago with unconventional methods that led to the production of one of the highest quality tequilas in the world and set a new standard for decades to come.

Don Julio 1942 is produced in small batches and aged for a minimum of two and a half years. This aging process yields a rich, complex flavor profile with notes of caramel and chocolate on the nose and heady flavors of tropical fruit, warm oak, vanilla and roasted agave on the tongue.

The spirit is packaged in a bottle inspired by the long and pointed leaves of the blue agave, making it instantly recognizable. Don Julio 1942 has two gold medals and one silver medal at the Global Spirit Masters in 2022, reinforcing its status as the top choice of premium tequila connoisseurs around the globe.
