Don Julio 1942
Just got in this beautiful tequila from Don Julio. It’s distilled only once per year, just before the rainy season starts. 10-12 year-old agaves, after distillation it is aged on average 30-36 months in used bourbon barrels. I’ve heard that when Mexico recently created their newest designation of Extra Anejo (requiring a full 36 months of aging) Don Julio’s people approached him and asked if he wouldn’t mind adding those few extra days to 1942’s aging process so it would qualify and could get on the label. His answer: Why? Why should I care about your laws or what goes on the label. 1942 is my baby, and is perfect as it is.
Come in and check it out.
