Description

About the Distillery

Don Julio is a prestigious and highly regarded tequila brand founded by Don Julio González in 1942. The brand is committed to producing high-quality tequilas using traditional methods, and it has become a symbol of craftsmanship and excellence in the tequila industry. 

How this product is made

Agave Harvesting: Mature blue agave plants are harvested by skilled jimadors, who carefully remove the leaves to reveal the heart, or ” piña.” The piñas are then cut and cooked to convert the starches into fermentable sugars.

Extraction and Fermentation: The cooked piñas are crushed to extract their juices, which are then fermented. Yeast is added to the juice to facilitate the fermentation process, converting the sugars into alcohol.

Distillation: The fermented liquid, known as “mosto,” is distilled twice in copper pot stills to produce a high-quality tequila spirit. The second distillation helps refine the spirit and remove impurities.

Aging: Don Julio Reposado is aged for a minimum of two months in oak barrels. This aging process allows the tequila to mellow and acquire flavors and aromas from the wood, resulting in a smoother and more complex taste compared to unaged “Blanco” tequilas.

Bottling: After aging, the Reposado tequila is carefully selected and filtered to remove any sediment or impurities. It is then bottled at its optimal strength for distribution.

 Technical Details

Don Julio Reposado typically has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 38% to 40%, which is standard for most tequilas.
