Don Julio Aejo Tequila

100% Blue Weber Agave Aejo | 40% ABV (80 Proof)

Process & Profile

Don Julio Aejo Tequila is crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco using fully mature Blue Weber agave, typically aged 710 years before harvest. The agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. It is then aged for approximately 18 months in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, producing a well-balanced spirit with rich character and refined oak influence.
