An Añejo Tequila that cuts no corners, exceeding every standard and delivering cactus-fueled happiness.

Don Julio Gonzalez started making his own Tequila in 1942 when he was only seventeen years old. Within five years he opened his own distillery, naming it “Primavera” (meaning “Springtime”). He spent the next forty years refining his process and improving the quality of his brands. Seagrams came along and invested in 1990s, and Diageo acquired the entire operation in 2014. Today, they make their namesake Don Julio brand of fine Jalisco Tequilas and several other Spirits brands in the Diageo portfolio.

Why do we continue to LOVE Don Julio Tequilas? It’s easy… they’re so darned good, and they’re good consistently. Don Julio Tequilas are like having reliable friends drive you to the airport, help you move, AND buy you a pizza while doing it. Don Julio is our Tequila BFF.

Don Julio Añejo Tequila is the elder sibling in the trifecta of core Don Julio Tequilas. And like is younger brothers, there are no corners cut. For example, it’s aged in oak for 50% longer than required by law. All the other good stuff is there too — 100% Weber blue agave are left to mature in the fields for either to ten years, the slow roasting, the natural yeast fermentation … all of it. All you have to do is get a bottle and be happy.
