Don Julio Reposado Tequila

Product Description

Don Julio Reposado Tequila: The Original Luxury Reposado, Rested Eight Months in Bourbon Oak

Don Julio González started making tequila in 1942, at 17, in the Jalisco highlands, and the brand calls its Reposado the first luxury tequila. Don Julio Reposado is made from 100% blue Weber agave and rests 8+ months in ex-bourbon American white oak casks, which the brand describes as four times the industry standard, long enough to turn the agave golden amber and add soft oak without covering it. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

It’s famously smooth and easy to love. The brand describes a nose of mellow lemon citrus and spice with ripe stone fruit, a taste of incredibly soft, elegant dark chocolate, vanilla, and light cinnamon, and a silky, warm finish with dried fruit, nuts, and a touch of caramel apple. That’s why it works everywhere: chilled on the rocks, neat after dinner, or in a classic Paloma (grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar over ice), a Margarita, or an Old Fashioned. For anyone moving from blanco to aged tequila, it’s the bridge, and it’s a safe, welcome gift.
