My Tasting Notes: With a yellow golden color, Don Julio Anejo has intense aromas
of floral and fruit.  Moderate aromas consist of vanilla, while mild aromas are of spice
and caramel.  The tequila has no bitterness to it and a sweet aftertaste.  Initial flavors
are intense caramel.  There are also moderate agave, fruit, and vanilla flavors.  
Numbing alcohol intensity and a long duration of flavor bring this tequila masterpiece to
a close.



Info on the Back of the Bottle: "After 18 months of maturation in oak barrels
this tequila results in a rich and smooth flavor.  For over six decades, Don Julio has
been crafting Mexico's finest tequila.  Just one sip of this handcrafted tequila shows
that it is a labor of love."



Other Info: "Don Julio Tequila is named after the founder, Don Julio Gonzalez
Estrada. He revolutionized Reposado style tequila production in Mexico.

Don Julio is the No. 1 choice among tequila connoisseurs in Mexico. Don Julio Gonzales
is one of Mexico's most renowned premium tequila makers. His tequila, made in the
same way since 1942, is his masterwork.

Don Julio Tequila Reposado is said to be silky smooth with a compelling combination of
light cinnamon, honey and herbaceous flavors balanced by a lightly smoky taste and
dark chocolate notes. Aged for just under a year, Don Julio Reposado is available in the
United States along with Don Julio Blanco and Don Julio Añejo." -
