Don Julio Blanco

Don Julio Blanco goes straight from the still to the bottle, which leaves nowhere to hide. It’s the purest expression of the agave Don Julio González has been growing in the Jalisco highlands since 1942.

Clean and bright, with sweet cooked agave, citrus and a peppery finish. There’s no oak here at all — just the plant, done properly.

The tequila for margaritas worth the effort, and good enough to drink neat with lime and salt kept off to the side.
