Don Julio 1942 Year of the Goat Limited Edition 2027
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Añejo: aged over two years in American white oak | NOM 1449, Jalisco — Don Julio 1942 Year of the Goat Limited Edition 2027 gives the iconic slender 1942 bottle — created to honor the year Don Julio González began his tequila journey — its Lunar New Year treatment for the 2027 Year of the Goat, following the Year of the Horse edition in 2026.
Vivid orange artwork with gold, green, and red detailing wraps the tall 1942 silhouette, plus a commemorative presentation carton. The edition honors the duality of the goat across two vibrant cultures — gentle and harmonious in Chinese tradition, wild and spirited in Mexican folklore. Inside is the identical 1942 liquid: roasted agave, caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spice/chocolate on the nose; silky butterscotch, honey, dark chocolate, toasted almond, orange peel, and cinnamon on the palate; a long, smooth, elegant finish of lingering oak, vanilla, roasted agave, cocoa dust, and gentle pepper — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA. More from the house in the tequila collection.
