Don Julio 1942 Review
Every ounce of the notable hype surrounding this bottle is merited — Don Julio 1942 continues to be one of the best tequilas on the market. Aged for a minimum of two years, this añejo is lighter in color than most añejo bottlings, sharing the light golden hue of a fine Chardonnay. Its excellence arrives via the perfect marriage of high-quality agave distillate and careful, considered aging, delivering spicy vegetal notes and attractive vanilla.
