Don Julio Reposado

Don Julio Reposado represents the art of traditional Mexican tequila-making, crafted with care and precision at the Don Julio distillery in the highlands of Jalisco. This premium spirit embodies the legacy of Don Julio González and his commitment to quality tequila production.

How It's Made

Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave harvested at peak maturity after 7-10 years of growth. The agave hearts are slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens for 72 hours, then crushed to extract their sweet juices. After fermentation and double distillation, the tequila is aged for eight months in American white-oak barrels, creating its distinctive character.

Taste Profile

The nose presents inviting aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, and citrus. On the palate, it delivers:

• Rich, smooth texture with warming oak notes
• Subtle vanilla and caramel undertones
• Light citrus and agave sweetness
• A clean, warm finish with hints of spice

Territory

Produced in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, where the region's rich, red clay soil and climate create ideal conditions for growing Blue Weber Agave. The higher altitude and cooler temperatures of the highlands contribute to the agave's slow growth, developing more complex sugars and flavors.

What to Expect

Don Julio Reposado offers a refined sipping experience that showcases the perfect balance between raw agave and oak-aged characteristics. The eight-month aging process creates a remarkably smooth spirit that can be enjoyed neat or in premium cocktails.
