Don Julio Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila from Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV. Its history is part of the appeal: Don Julio González founded the distillery in 1942 and is credited with pushing tequila toward being treated as a spirit to sip rather than only to shoot.
As an unaged blanco it carries no barrel character, so what you get is the agave itself — cooked agave sweetness, citrus, a light pepper note and a finish that reads smooth rather than hot. It is a good introduction to what 100% agave tequila actually tastes like, because there is no oak covering the ground.
It works in both directions. Neat in a sipping glass it holds up to attention; in a margarita or Paloma it keeps the drink crisp and agave-forward instead of sweet. Skip the salt-and-lime routine if you are drinking it neat — that convention exists for rougher tequila than this.
The short, wide bottle is recognisable enough to make it an easy gift or table bottle. 247BOOZE delivers Don Julio Blanco across our active service areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
