My Tasting Notes: The tequila is clear in color with intense earthy and smoky
aromas followed by moderate-to-intense aromas of floral, spice, and chocolate. A soft
mellow entry leads to a low sweet taste, with low-to-moderate bitterness and
moderate-to-heavy agave taste. While there is only moderate agave flavor, the
tequila has intense earthy and floral.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Made from 100% blue agave and slow-cooked
in traditional masonry ovens, Don Julio Blanco is double distilled to achieve a balanced
quality. Its aroma is light with a hint of citrus. The taste is light, clean and dry with a
touch of black pepper. For over five decades, Don Julio has been crafting Mexico's
finest tequila. Just one sip shows it is a labor of love. Try it over crushed ice with a
squeeze of lime or in a margarita."
Other Info: This bottles date stamp reads April 11th, 2003.
"Thank you for choosing Don Julio Tequila.
Since the age of 17, Don Julio has been growing the highest quality agave plants which
give his tequila an incomparable aroma and taste. The agave plants are grown in a
micro climate in the highlands of Jalisco. This area, which is between mountaintops,
has stable temperatures and humidity. It also contains volcanic rock, which makes the
water soft and pure. These conditions allow Don Julio to grow a superior agave, which
is distilled into a superior tequila." -Don Julio Neck Tag
