Personally, I prefer reposados over Blancos as I’m fond of light oak flavors and the vanilla notes that aging in oak provides to the tequila. Great depth and richness with chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon notes livened up by tart lemon underneath.

The good news is that I’ve got you covered on this with the following post comparing both releases from Don Julio. Is Don Julio Reposado better than Añejo? At some point, I had a liking for Don Julio as it was my initial experience with Reposado, but as my palate evolved, I no longer drink it. Don Julio is a brand of tequila produced in Mexico. It is the largest brand in value and eighth largest in volume. Its owned by the British-based multinational alcoholic beverage maker Diageo. [1] It is distilled, manufactured and bottled by Tequila Don Julio, S.A. de C.V. from its corporate facility in the Colonia El Chichimeco district, in the city of Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico. [2] History [ edit ]It is common for a Tequila brand to experience a decline in quality when it is acquired by a large conglomerate and the production is no longer overseen by the founder. Kleinman, Geoff (13 March 2013). "How Tequila is Made: Behind the Scenes of Don Julio Tequila" . Retrieved 20 February 2014. Don Julio Reposado is 100% Blue Weber Agave , double distilled, and rested in charred oak bourbon barrels for up to 11 months. Each agave is hand selected at maturity and only the heart of the distillation is used, as it is the purest part, free from most impurities. Our story began in 1942, when a young Don Julio González saw a unique opportunity in the production of tequila. It was this unrelenting passion for excellence that inspired his creation of the world's first luxury tequila.

Don Julio's care and attention stretched even to the planting of his agave plants. He planted them further apart than was typical, which allowed them more space to grow. He harvested the agave only when it was fully mature, and then worked with only the most juicy and ripe parts of the agave heart, or piña. The piñas were roasted slowly for 72 hours. The result was a tequila which was smoother and richer than any had been before, and Don Julio achieved his dream of making the world's first premium tequila. Don Julio offer a refined 1942 añejo tequila and an extraordinary Real extra-añejo tequila Passion enough for the whole world to savor but proudly and distinctly, hecho en México. The tradition, creativity and passion of our people and homeland, baked into our DNA. Because if not for love, then what?Don Julio González began his journey in the world of tequila in 1942. He soon realized that to create a tequila that stands apart, one must control every aspect of the process, from the cultivation of the agave to the bottling of the final product. He then established his distillery, La Primavera, and spent nearly forty years perfecting the craft that would produce extraordinary tequila with every bottle. Made from the purest of base tequilas and aged for 8 months in American white oak to soften and add spice. Don Julio Reposado is easier to drink than Don Julio Blanco as barrel aging made it sweeter and smoother while adding a pleasing oak note. Melita Kiely, editor of The Spirits Business magazine and chair of The Global Spirits Masters, said: “Don Julio lived up to its reputation for high-quality Tequila in this year’s blind tasting. The blanco expression delivered everything you’d expect, and more: zesty, citrus aromas, with a peppery palate that was rounded off beautifully with a little sweetness. The cask influence on the reposado Tequila added a touch of toffee and vanilla, while still retaining that classic Tequila profile. And the añejo Tequila was incredibly inviting with complex aromas of gentle oak, agave, and a mellowed, sophisticated flavor profile.” Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades.

While Don Julio Reposado is still widely available and enjoyable, it is no longer considered one of the best Reposados on the market. González was just 17 years old when he began distilling tequila with a radical dedication to quality and craftsmanship, creating the world’s very first “super premium” tequila.

It has the same sweet agave character and smoothness of the anejo, but slightly less of the brandy-like qualities that most anejos exhibit. It's not a great value, because the DJ offerings tend to be pricey, but for one of the best tequilas on the market, that's to be expected.
