Don Julio Añejo 70cl. - Case

PREPARATION

Don Julio Añejo is made 100% from the blue agave plant and a time-honored distillation process. Every drop that rests inside a bottle of Don Julio tequila is born in the Altos de Jalisco, where the microclimate and the red clay soil, rich in minerals, allow the blue agave plant to flourish. They wait seven to ten years before each harvest, resulting in the smooth, yet mature flavor that Don Julio tequila is known for. The jimadores, generation after generation, have been not only experts in the art of harvesting agave, but also highly respected artisans in Mexico. They hand select and evenly cut the agave stalks to increase the quality of the juice. Once harvested, the pineapples are cut by hand into thirds or quarters. They are then slowly steamed in traditional clay ovens for three days to release the sweet juice of the agave. It is then aged in small batches in American white oak barrels for 18 months.
