Don Julio 1942 Tequila

Starting off, I need to say that I am not a tequila fan. However, I never had this. The nose is full of caramel notes and oak. It smelled like desert. No lime and salt needed on this one! The taste was like eating caramel apples and toffee. I could not decide if the nose or the taste was more delighful. The good news is that i didnt have to. I will enjoy this one for awhile.

Fucking amazing. Smoke, sweet, savory, salty It's umami

Overall, Don Julio already makes great aged Tequila so, this step up definitely brings in everything that you would expect; it’s very smooth and delicious. The thing to consider is that, compared to the Añejo, or even the Reposado, you can still get Don Julio’s quality at a fraction of the price. Compared to Clase Azul, the palate is drier and, being an Añejo it definitely benefits from that “maturity”.
