Don Julio González chose this specific highland terroir deliberately when he planted his first agave fields in 1942, recognizing that the elevation and mineral content of the soil produced agave with superior flavor complexity. The Blanco is the purest expression of that choice — double distilled for balance, unaged to keep the highland agave character fully intact, and finished with a touch of black pepper on the finish that is characteristic of the Los Altos appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light citrus, agave sweetness, and floral notes with the subtle mineral character of highland Jalisco\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and dry with sweet cooked agave, citrus, and a touch of black pepper — balanced and approachable for an unaged spirit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry and clean with lingering black pepper and fresh agave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Primavera, Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1449)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber, Los Altos highlands\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanco (unaged)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double distilled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/don-julio\"\u003eDon Julio lineup at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between Don Julio Blanco and a lowland tequila blanco?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon Julio Blanco is a Los Altos highland expression — the agave grows at over 2,000 meters elevation in red clay soil, producing naturally sweeter, fruitier, and more aromatic agave than lowland valley tequilas.
