At fifteen, Don Julio González carried the weight of his whole family on his shoulders and rode across Jalisco on horseback to sell tequila straight from wooden barrels. That same stubborn drive to do things properly still lives in every bottle of Don Julio Blanco.
Expert Description
Don Julio Blanco is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave, double distilled in pot stills and bottled at 38%.
Behind the name is Don Julio González, who opened his first distillery, La Primavera, in the town of Atotonilco el Alto in Jalisco back in 1947. In 1985, to mark his own 60th birthday, he launched a 100% agave tequila under his own name — the start of what's now one of Mexico's most respected tequila houses. The Blanco expression is the foundation the rest of the range is built on: pure agave, unaged, distilled from nothing but water, yeast and agave.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Crisp and clean, with fresh agave alongside lemon, lime and grapefruit.
Palate
Light and sweet, carried by the agave's natural sweetness and a hint of citrus.
Finish
The finish follows the same path — light, sweet and refreshing, without ever turning heavy.
