Crafted to celebrate Don Julio’s 70th anniversary, Don Julio Añejo 70 Tequila is a unique fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. As the world’s first clear añejo tequila, it undergoes a meticulous double distillation followed by 18 months of aging in American white oak barrels and a final charcoal filtration to remove color while preserving the rich character of an aged spirit. The result is a crystal-clear tequila with all the depth of a classic añejo and the crispness of a blanco—an extraordinary creation from one of Mexico’s most revered tequila producers.
