Don Julio 1942 is an añejo tequila from the Los Altos region in the Mexican state of Jalisco, made from 100% Weber blue agave and aged longer than the añejo category requires. It was created in 2002 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Don Julio González's first distillery and was initially intended to be a limited edition — its popularity earned it a permanent place in the brand's range. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

The foundation is hand-selected Weber blue agave grown in the highland region of Jalisco, whose piñas are slowly baked in traditional brick ovens over 72-hour cycles. The juice is then double-distilled in an alembic still, and the spirit matures for at least two and a half years in small batches, in white oak barrels. It is produced at the distillery bearing the number NOM 1449 in the Jalisco highlands. To earn the añejo designation, a tequila must rest in oak for at least a year; Don Julio 1942 matures for a minimum of two and a half years, and this extended time in American white oak barrels gives the spirit its amber colour and complex character.

The profile is dominated by notes derived from the long maturation. The nose reveals caramel, roasted agave, vanilla and toasted oak, which open up after a moment in the glass. On the palate, roasted agave leads the way, supported by toasted oak, silky vanilla and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is long and warming. The texture is round and oily, and the structure rests on the balance between agave sweetness and tannins from the wood.

This is a tequila that asks you to slow down — its silky, almost velvety texture is meant for leisurely sipping. The spirit is made from blue agave grown in the highland region of Atotonilco el Alto in Jalisco. The distinctive bottle echoes the shape of an agave leaf — its tall, slender silhouette is meant to evoke the plant stretching towards the sun.
