• Tequila has enjoyed enduring popularity, now basking in the limelight for noble reasons. Enthusiasts, both seasoned and new, increasingly recognise tequila’s elevated status, transitioning from its former role as a mere party shot to the pinnacle of refined spirits production.

    Don Julio’s ultra-premium tequila, crafted solely from the finest blue agave, epitomises excellence. Carefully selected after eight to 10 years of cultivation, only fully matured agave plants are utilised, ensuring a superior product. Don Julio Blanco, bottled immediately to capture its raw agave essence, boasts a rich profile of raw agave, subtle citrus notes, and a hint of pepperiness. This commitment to quality not only produces exceptional tequila but also honours the deep roots of Mexican culture within the Don Julio brand.

    Make sure to mark your calendars for the official launch of The Don’s Table in Johannesburg on 29 September. The Don’s Table is not just any tequila launch; it’s an invitation to step foot into the enchanting realm of Tierra De Don Julio, where tequila aficionados and enthusiasts alike are about to be swept off their feet on an immersive thrill ride of discovery, education, and, of course, tequila-infused celebration!
