Don Julio Blanco Tequila (70cl, 38%)

A blanco tequila from Don Julio, crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is cultivated to maturity before being cooked, fermented and distilled, and the spirit is bottled without barrel maturation. It reflects the pioneering vision of Don Julio Gonzalez, who began his tequila-making journey in 1942. Crystal clear and versatile, it is suited to thoughtful sipping and cocktail preparation, including the Margarita and Paloma. On the nose, fresh agave aromas mingle with lemon, lime and grapefruit, complemented by papaya, guava, pineapple and ripe apricot, with subtle herbal and vegetal nuances. The palate is crisp yet rounded, with sweet cooked agave, juicy tropical fruit, refreshing citrus and gentle white pepper, plus herbal nuances and cooling menthol. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering agave sweetness, subtle vegetal freshness and refined black pepper.
