Don Julio 70 Dia de Muertos Limited Edition 2026
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Añejo claro: 18 months in American white oak, charcoal-filtered clear | Atotonilco, Jalisco — Don Julio 70 Día de Muertos Limited Edition 2026 takes the brand's celebrated añejo claro — rested 18 months in American white-oak barrels, then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity — and dresses it in a first-of-its-kind artist collaboration.
Part of Don Julio's 2026 global Día de Muertos campaign *El Puente Eterno* (The Eternal Bridge), this is the brand's first collaboration with Mexico City-born designer Patricio Campillo, unveiled at his Spring/Summer 2027 runway show at New York Fashion Week. The "Marigold Bridge" bottle carries Campillo's original artwork — bright orange cempasúchil marigolds, a skull-inspired floral motif, and a side-profile illustration of two souls reunited through the depth and clarity of the liquid — in a matching black collector box marked "Campillo Diseño Edición Limitada." Inside is the identical Don Julio 70 liquid: fresh agave, vanilla, and light citrus on the nose; smooth, rounded sweet agave with toasted oak, vanilla bean, and subtle spice on the palate; a long, elegant honeyed-oak finish with soft pepper — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA. For more from the house, explore the tequila collection.

Frequently asked questions
What is different about the 2026 Día de Muertos edition?
The liquid is identical to standard Don Julio 70; the difference is the limited packaging — Patricio Campillo's marigold "Marigold Bridge" artwork and matching black collector box, tied to the 2026 *El Puente Eterno* campaign.
Is Don Julio 70 a blanco or an añejo?
It's an añejo claro (cristalino): aged 18 months in American white oak, then charcoal-filtered to remove the color while keeping the oak character.
Is this a good collector's item?
It's a first-ever designer collaboration with individually themed collector packaging — the kind of limited edition that tends to disappear from shelves.
