Product Information

Known colloquially simply as 1942, the tequila is famous for more than its smooth qualities, delicious flavor, and shiny price tag. It’s perhaps most recognizable for its unique bottle shape — extremely thin and standing at 17.5 inches tall. At such a height, it towers over other bottles lining the shelves of your favorite bar, and is a far cry from other Don Julio bottles that are short and squat. When considering the fact that Don Julio himself originally chose to bottle his spirits in shorter containers that could easily be passed around the table, one has to wonder, why is the Don Julio 1942 bottle shaped the way it is? Once a spirit for those in the know, the 1942 has since its debut established itself as a must-have celebratory spirit at premier nightlife events worldwide. Said Don Julio favourite delivers a distinct flavour profile featuring a precise concoction of caramel, toffee, and vanilla, with an agave-laced finish.

This limited-edition tequila is made from the finest agave, and it’s aged in oak barrels for over 2 years until it achieves astounding levels of flavour and character. The bold flavour and passionate craftsmanship evoke the qualities of Don Julio González himself.

Sweet aromas of vanilla and tones of nuts, almonds and chocolate combine with exotic cinnamon and a light essence of oak. Choi says that the iconic elongated bottle is designed after the agave leaf, honoring both the brand's roots while feeling relevant and contemporary (via VinePair). The bottle is made with hand-blown Mexican glass and features a lip to enhance the pouring ritual of Don Julio 1942. As mentioned earlier, this tequila is stored in oak barrels. Aged tequilas, and most aged spirits, are always going to be more expensive than younger tequilas (via The Spruce Eats). Only the highest quality spirits are selected for aging (via Alkypal). Once barreled, aged tequilas spend fairly long periods of time at the distillery. This process means that companies often don't get a return on their investments for a while, leading to a pricier product.Effective Top Tube Length: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

You'll find old bottles in colorless varieties, as well as a wide range of colors, including amber, blue, purple, and green. Sometimes color served a purpose that's related to the contents of the bottle. For example, some amber and other dark bottles may be that color because the contents were sensitive to light. However, color often has nothing to do with the bottle's original purpose.

If you love tequila, you’ll want to give this one a try. Everyone knows that Don Julio makes a fine tequila, and this is even finer. It’s the crème de la crème and you deserve to experience it for yourself. Does our Don Julio 1942 offer value? Distinguished and refined, this legendary Mexican spirit is produced in small batches and aged for a minimum of two and a half years in American white-oak barrels, producing the highest quality tequila. The choice befitted both the individual and the occasion, not least because the paths of A-listers and agave distillates have become ever more entwined in recent years. Yet, Don Julio 1942 is its own, unique type of celebrity tequila — one owned not by a Hollywood actor but the world’s largest alcohol conglomerate. This bottle is a celebrity among tequilas. This is then finished with a beautiful, sweet agave-laced finish with lingering hints of oak and rich vanilla essence: full-bodied and creamy that result from the distillation, barrelling and ageing process.

Of course, the success in the starting, i.e.., around 1942 was limited. Yet, Gonzalez kept his inspiration driven and opened up a distillery called La primavera. In this distillery, Gonzalez had started producing this extraordinary liqueur in bulk. Not only did he produce but also he kept using different distilling techniques to improve the crafting and taste of this traditional tequila. What Are The Different Varieties of Don Julio? The Super Bowl celebration marked the first in a series of major plays into wider celebrity and nightlife culture, now aided by the eponymous musical quartet. As the names got bigger over time, so too did the bottles. In January 2017, for example, Don Julio sponsored the annual TAO Park City pop up at the Sundance Festival. When John Legend arrived at his VIP table, a newly launched magnum bottle of Don Julio 1942 awaited on ice. Mary J. Blige and a group of friends would soon take a seat at the table next to him.
