Don Julio 70th Anniversary Añejo Claro Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Don Julio 70 is a clear tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, aged 18 months in used American white oak barrels and then charcoal filtered to remove colour. Created in 2012 to mark the 70th anniversary of Don Julio González-Frausto Estrada's first tequila, it was the first Añejo Claro in the category. It comes from the family estate in the highlands of Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco. The official notes describe a crisp nose with traditional añejo hints, a smooth palate with vanilla, honey and toasted oak, and a finish with lingering oak followed by a clean, warm close.
