Seventy Years, Filtered to Glass
Don Julio 70 solves a delicious contradiction: the honeyed, oak-kissed depth of an añejo with none of the color. The charcoal filtration strips the hue while leaving the barrel's flavor behind — vanilla, honey, toasted oak — making it a favorite for cocktails that want añejo character without a tinted pour.

How to Enjoy
