The Icon, Pocket-Sized
Don Julio 1942 was created to commemorate 1942, the year Don Julio González began making tequila — the tall agave-leaf bottle became the definitive luxury-tequila silhouette. The 375mL carries the exact same añejo inside, making it the gift, travel, and tasting format of choice. Rich caramel and chocolate on the nose, warm oak and vanilla over roasted agave on the palate, with a lingering vanilla finish. Browse the Don Julio collection and luxury tequilas at Del Mesa.
