About Don Julio

The legacy of Don Julio González began in 1942 when, at just 17 years old, he set out to redefine tequila. His dedication to quality led him to plant agaves farther apart for fuller growth, steam them for 72 hours, and hand-select only the most succulent hearts.

Even his bottle design was innovative — shorter and square-shaped so friends could see each other across the table. Today, Don Julio Tequila remains a symbol of craftsmanship and luxury, still made in Jalisco with the same attention to detail.

Why Tequila Is Mexico’s Spirit

Tequila must be made from at least 51% Blue Weber agave and produced in specific regions of Mexico, most famously Jalisco. Don Julio Añejo, made from 100% Blue Weber agave, honors this heritage with elegance and depth, proving tequila is more than just a party shot — it’s a spirit to be savored.
