Tequila Don Julio Ultima Reserva Review
While some other extra añejos arrive at well past the legal minimum, this expression arrives in bottle at 36 months, or three years. In this case, it feels like a decision well-made, highlighting dazzling dried apricot notes that we don't regularly encounter. With that, comes an enticing energy and acidity — a duality akin to the world’s great sweet wines, and reminiscent of the most exceptional Cognacs on the market.
