It’s been 80 years since Don Julio González planted his first blue weber agaves in the highlands of Jalisco. He spent decades perfecting his craft to create one of Mexico’s most loved tequilas that has since become a much-loved staple in drinks cabinets across the world.
As a tribute to the love Don Julio González poured into every bottle of tequila that results in an exceptionally smooth liquid, Tequila Don Julio introduced a special 36- month aged luxury Extra-Añejo that preserves his ultimate legacy: Tequila Don Julio Ultima Reserva. With an initial production run of just 4,000 cases that launched last year, the rare and exclusive liquid is returning with the release of its second bottling to commemorate 10 years since the passing of the brand’s late founder.
In 2006, Don Julio González and his family planted the final agave harvest that was set aside to create something truly special. Tequila Don Julio Ultima Reserva was rested in oak barrels previously used to age bourbon and finished in Madeira wine-seasoned casks. Using a Solera aging method that blends and matures tequilas of different characteristics, the result was a wonderfully complex yet perfectly balanced liquid with Don Julio González’s final agave harvest at its heart.
