An exceptional Mexican tequila aged in Douro port barrels

Don Julio, the legacy of a pioneer of Mexican tequila

Founded in 1942 by Don Julio González in the Jalisco region of Mexico, this iconic brand embodies the excellence of artisanal tequila. The La Primavera distillery, established in 1947, revolutionized the industry by prioritizing quality over quantity. After his sons created the Don Julio brand in 1985 to honor his legacy, Diageo acquired it in 2014. Production takes place in the Highlands of Jalisco, where blue agaves benefit from an exceptional terroir at 2,100 meters above sea level. Don Julio stands out for its traditional methods, meticulous aging, and commitment to sustainability.

Don Julio Rosado represents a remarkable innovation in the range of the famous Mexican distillery. This tequila reposado is made from 100% carefully selected blue agave from the highlands of Jalisco, a region renowned for the exceptional quality of its agaves.

What truly distinguishes the Rosado is its unique aging process. After traditional distillation, the tequila rests in ruby port wine barrels from the prestigious Douro region in Portugal.

Packaged in an elegant box, this ultra-premium tequila embodies the spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence that have made Don Julio famous since its inception.
