Don Julio Blanco Tequila

Born in the Jaliscan Highlands at La Primavera, Don Julio Blanco captures the house’s purest expression of agave: unaged, double-distilled and refreshingly crisp. Expect luminous citrus over clean, sweet agave in an iconic rounded bottle—crafted for perfect Margaritas yet elegant enough to sip over ice.

Tasting Notes & Experience
