One of the summer’s most spirited holidays, National Tequila Day, falls on a Friday this year, which makes it the ideal time to raise a glass of Mexico’s original luxury craft tequila, Tequila Don Julio.
Crafted by the legend himself, Don Julio González, Tequila Don Julio is the result of one man’s passionate pursuit to create a quality tequila that would elevate the category and could be shared with friends and family for celebratory occasion such as this. With six variants in today’s portfolio ranging from Blanco through Extra-Añejo, there is a choice for any tequila-lover.
