Production & Craftsmanship
Don Julio Añejo results from a meticulous cultivation of Blue Weber Agave, grown in the nutrient-rich soils of Jalisco. Once harvested, these agave hearts are slow-cooked in traditional ovens, releasing their sweet juices before being fermented and distilled with precision. The spirit is then carefully aged in American white-oak barrels for 18 months, a duration longer than many standard tequilas, allowing the tequila to develop deep amber hues and complex flavours. This crafting approach underscores Don Julio’s reputation for producing some of the most sought-after tequilas in the world.
