Don Julio 1942 is a luxury tequila that is handcrafted and aged for 2.5 years to give a full bodied and creamy finish. Don Julio 1942 Tequila is handcrafted in tribute to the year that Don Julio Gonz?lez began his tequila-making journey. It is extraordinarily smooth due to longer ageing and being made from choice blue agave, which is hand-selected and grown for six to 10 years.
