Don Julio 70 Cristalino Tequila

Created to honour Don Julio González’s 70 years of craft, Don Julio 70 Cristalino marries the depth of an 18-month Añejo with the crystalline purity of a Blanco. Twice distilled, matured in American white oak, then charcoal-filtered, it shines with citrus brightness over silky vanilla, honeyed oak and pristine agave. Sleek, modern and effortlessly celebratory, it’s the quintessential luxury tequila for sipping, gifting and elevated cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Crisp agave and citrus on the nose with subtle vanilla and oak. The palate is smooth and luminous: honeyed agave, toasted oak and a lift of lemon zest. Silken texture glides to a lingering, gently warm finish with whispers of oak and spice.

Cocktail Pairings

A high-shine 70 & Soda, tall over ice with a lime wedge, showcases its crystalline oak-kissed agave. A Director’s Martini brings sleek, silvered elegance—stirred, icy, lemon twist. The Don Julio 70 Margarita shimmers with fresh lime and a salt-kissed rim. For late nights, a 70 Cristalino Espresso Martini layers crema and cacao over that vanilla-oak glow.

Craftsmanship & Story

The world’s first cristalino añejo, Don Julio 70 is twice distilled, aged 18 months in American white oak, then charcoal-filtered to restore blanco-bright agave while preserving añejo complexity. Conceived to celebrate Don Julio’s 70th anniversary, it continues the house’s pioneering pursuit of luxury tequila with limited artist editions that honour Mexican creativity and craft.
