Don Julio 1942 Tequila 50mL

The Most Famous Anejo in Miniature
Don Julio 1942 was the luxury-tequila blueprint: long-aged añejo in a tall, slender bottle that collectors and connoisseurs instantly recognize. This 50mL edition is the same liquid — caramel, vanilla, roasted agave, and warm oak — in a travel-ready pour for sampling, gifting, or keeping in the miniatures shelf. See the Don Julio collection and all tequilas at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Caramel, vanilla, and roasted agave with warm oak on the nose; rich and smooth on the palate with chocolate, nuts, and coffee notes; a long, warm, lightly spiced finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a snifter or straight from the miniature — it makes a striking gift for a tequila lover, or an easy way to taste the legend without committing to the full bottle.
