Don who? Don Julio. 

The legend begins in 1942, when young Don Julio González saw a once in a lifetime opportunity in tequila production. He didn’t own much, but what he did possess was a dream. After sharing his vision with a local businessman, he was granted a loan to start his first tequila distillery, La Primavera, in the Jaliscan Highlands.

The highlands of Jalisco sit 6,500 feet above sea level and mark the place where it all began. It’s in this extreme climate, surrounded by rich volcanic soil, where the legendary distillery of La Primavera was founded, and Don Julio Tequila was born.

Quick Facts

• Don Julio’s Blanco Tequila forms the base from which all their other variants are derived.
• What makes Don Julio so special is that instead of harvesting entire agave fields at once, the Jimadors meticulously harvest plant by plant, expertly assessing the age and health of every agave. To increase the quality of their harvest, they handpick and uniformly hand-cut the agave leaves from the piña.
• More than three generations of Jimador families have worked with Don Julio, continually creating quality Tequila, using unique methods and processes that have been passed down through these generations.
