Don Julio 1942 Tequila

An excellent expression of tequila. It will taste the same every time, which is why a bottle never lasts very long.

Great for bourbon lovers. Light and sweet with vanilla. Smooth. Classy bottle and display. Guaranteed to get you an Instagram model

Nose - caramel, toffee, vanilla, mild cracked pepper, sweet dry oak, marshmallow, bamboo, tropical fruit, subtle cooked agave, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - butterscotch, creamy vanilla, raisin, milk chocolate, sweet cooked agave, oak, spearmint, nutmeg, clove, mild alcohol bite, finishing moderately long with chocolate, mint, and oily, sour, bitter, chemically caramel favors. This is not a great tequila, but a pleasant sipper nonetheless. In fact, I would probably have some degree of difficulty identifying this as tequila in a blind test, as it hits more like a light-bodied Japanese whiskey or maybe even some weird cognac. I assume it is well reviewed because the included additives make it sweeter and more approachable than a traditionally produced, quality tequila. I think this would be a good expression for introducing the spirit to whiskey or non-liquor drinkers. However, the price is completely unwarranted; I think the standard DJ Añejo at half the price is a step up (and even that one is, in my opinion, overpriced).
