| Don Julio "1942" Añejo - 3rd Generation |
| NOM: 1449 Distillery: Tequila Don Julio, S.A. DE C.V. Importer: Diageo Americas Area: Highlands Aged: 2.5 Years Barrel Type: American Oak Bourbon Barrels Bottle Size: 750ml Bottle Number: 229,098 Number of Distillations: 2 Alcohol Percentage: 40%/80 Proof Price: Gift From Dante and Gopaal Garzon Current Website: http://www.donjulio.com/ |
My Tasting Notes: The tequila is a golden color with intense floral and vanilla
aromas. A soft mellow entry leads to a sweet syrupy taste, with no bitterness and
moderate agave flavor. While there is only moderate agave flavor, the tequila has
intense earthy, fruity, floral, vanilla, and caramel flavors. The tequila finishes with a
long duration of flavor and a tingly, numbing alcohol finish.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: I believe that 1942 was released in 2002.
The inside of the box for 1942 has the following text: "Don Julio 1942 - I established
my first tequila distillery in 1942 and to commemorate that very special year, I have
created Don Julio 1942 a unique and limited edition. I personally selected the stocks
for this new release. Its golden line and perfect clarity I find appealing and a testament
to its purity. The aroma is sweet and ripe with layers of agave and notes of ripe
apples and oak. The taste is smooth, rich and clean with an oak and vanilla finish.
Don Julio 1942 will appeal to both the connoisseurs and collectors of fine tequila. I
hope you enjoy it."
