Product Information:

Don Julio Rosado is their signature Reposado Tequila, but finished in Ruby Port Wine casks (4-months) from the enchanting Duoro region of Northern Portugal. The result is a deliciously unique Reposado Tequila with a delicate pink hue and sweet notes of dried red fruit and caramel. Released in 2023, the Don Julio Rosado is a limited addition release new to the brand's offering. Perfect on the rocks or mixed into daytime cocktails. For a lighter-longer drink, just add a splash of club soda and a lemon to garnish. Made for day time moments spent outdoors with good company.

Maker:
Don Julio Tequila is a revered and iconic brand that represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and dedication to the art of tequila production. Founded by Don Julio González in 1942, this Mexican tequila has become synonymous with exceptional quality and an unwavering commitment to tradition. Don Julio Tequila is crafted with utmost care and attention to detail, starting with the selection of the finest blue agave plants from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. These agaves, grown for an average of seven to ten years are handpicked at their peak ripeness ensuring the fullest expression of flavour. The heart of Don Julio Tequila lies in its production process, which combines time-honoured techniques with modern innovation. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens, allowing the sugars to develop and create a rich and complex flavour profile. After the cooking process, the agave is crushed and the juice is extracted, fermented and carefully distilled to perfection. The result is a range of tequilas that exemplify the essence of their respective expressions. From the vibrant and crisp Blanco, with its notes of citrus and agave, to the aged and refined Añejo and Reposado, which showcase the influence of oak barrels with hints of vanilla and caramel, each expression offers a unique and memorable tasting experience. Don Julio Tequila is not just a brand; it is a symbol of Mexican heritage and craftsmanship. It is a tequila that has been celebrated and enjoyed by tequila connoisseurs and enthusiasts around the world. 

Philosophy:
The legend begins in 1942, when a young Don Julio González sees a once in a lifetime opportunity in tequila production. He didn't own much, but what he did possess was a dream and the singular devotion needed to bring it to life. After sharing his vision with a local businessman, he was granted a loan to start his first tequila distillery, La Primavera. Sitting 6500 feet above sea level in the highlands of Jalisco is where it all began.

It's in this extreme climate, surrounded by rich volcanic soil, where the legendary distillery of La Primavera was founded and Don Julio Tequila was born. Since 1947, over three generations of the Jimador families have worked with Don Julio. Their devotion to Don Julio's process and methods is unmatched and their mastery in planting, farming and harvesting agave have been passed on for generations and can be traced back to Don Julio himself.

 

Nose - Almond Cake, White Chocolate, Subtle Spice

Almond and white chocolate with subtle spice and soft agave aromas.

Palate - Biscuity, Pear, Grilled Nuts

The tequila feels full on the palate, but not slick. The flavours mirror the aroma with a little red berry added to the mix

Finish - White Pepper, Pastry, Sweet Oak Spices

Overall, it's a balanced tequila with light fruity notes which don't overpower the agave. A good daytime sipper on its own and solid in a Spritz.
