Step into this world of unparalleled luxury and exquisite taste, courtesy of Diageo, the world’s leading alcobev company.
Don Julio Tequila Makes A Grand Entrance In India
Picture a vibrant celebration bringing alive the legacy of this Mexican extravaganza, attended by the crème de la crème of the film, fashion, music, and art fraternity. The high-decibel launch parties in Gurgaon and Mumbai were ablaze with the presence of luminaries like Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, Nia Sharma, and Pooja Gor. Everyone in attendance revelled in the brilliance of an evening that truly encapsulated the essence of Don Julio and its rich Mexican heritage.
The legend of Don Julio dates back to 1942, when a visionary, Don Julio Gonzalez, founded his first tequila distillery, La Primavera, in the Jaliscan Highlands of Mexico. His commitment to crafting the finest tequila was unmatched. Picture him traversing the agave fields, meticulously caring for each plant, almost considering them his children. He saw beyond a crop; the agave was a canvas for his expertise, balancing flavours from each piña with a precision that defined excellence.
Fast forward to today, and over three generations of Jimador families have relentlessly continued Don Julio’s legacy. Their mastery of planting, farming, and harvesting agave is unmatched. They meticulously handpick and hand-cut the agave, ensuring that each step maintains the exceptional quality that defines Don Julio.

In a country experiencing a surge in luxury consumption, the arrival of Don Julio in India speaks volumes. The portfolio includes the Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, and the iconic Don Julio 1942. Each variant is a testament to craftsmanship and flavour innovation. The Blanco, perfect for cocktails like palomas and margaritas, embodies vibrant citrus hints.
The Reposado offers a mellow yet elegant mix of citrus and spice notes with a touch of ripe stone fruit. The complex Anejo blend tantalises with lime, grapefruit, mandarin, and caramel. And then, there’s the pinnacle of luxury, the Don Julio 1942, a rich symphony of caramel, chocolate, tropical fruit, warm oak, vanilla, and roasted agave—a true homage to its founder.
