-6%Don Julio Anejo 750ml
Save KSh 600 · 6% off
Pour this one when you want tequila to slow you down, not speed you up. Don Julio Añejo is what happens when Highland agave spends 18 months in oak: caramel, vanilla and a soft cocoa warmth that asks to be sipped, neat, no rush. Think the end of a long night, the good chair, maybe one ice cube. It's smooth enough to win over anyone who swears they 'don't do tequila'.
First sniff and it's cooked agave dipped in toffee, with a citrusy lift like lime zest and a whiff of vanilla off the oak. The sip is silky and gently sweet: honey, butterscotch, baked pear, a little toasted nuttiness. Then it stretches out long and warm with vanilla, cocoa and a soft oak spice on the way out. Almost no burn. It's rich without being heavy, and that's the trick.
The details
How to serve it
Neat, at room temp, in a short tumbler or a tequila copita so all that caramel and vanilla can open up. Let it sit a minute before the first sip. Want it longer? One big ice cube and a strip of orange peel is all it needs. This is too good to drown, so go easy on mixers. A top-shelf Old Fashioned riff or a slow-sipping Añejo Margarita works, but honestly it shines best on its own.
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is the bottle Don Julio González dreamed up back in the day: he was one of the first to plant agave wider apart so each one grew bigger and sweeter, and to bottle tequila as something you'd sip, not shoot. It comes from the Highlands of Jalisco in Mexico, made from 100% Blue Weber agave that's left to fully mature before harvest. The Añejo landed in 1996 and quickly became a benchmark for what aged tequila could be.
