It’s all marketing at this point. Julio’s old process of growing and distillation is no longer used. Their agave plants no longer natural ferment as they add a wheat based enzyme to ferment. And a lot of artificial flavors are added to create a since of aged tequila. So I give it a 2 out of 10. Código blanco is so much better
I like the Reposado. 1942 is good too of course. I still have my old bottles I bought years ago. I was getting 3 reposados for $60. Have not bought any of the newer stuff. I sip the reposado.
Tequila and mezcal has a centuries old pedigree and you’re saying that tequila tasted like moonshine until Don Julio came along? The centuries old tradition of mezcal production was just a tradition of making fire water moonshine, according to you. It’s also amazing that you say tequila was trash before DJ came along, but La Alteña distillery was founded by Don Felipe Camarena Hernandez in 1937, 5 years before DJ’s distillery opened. Don Julio now puts out mediocre product that exists to satisfy the sweet American palate. Tequila shouldn’t be “smooth”. Don Julio’s grandson put out a blanco tequila to show that the family can still produce good tequila, and that is what a tequila should taste like, not this crap.
Don Julio is a very good tequila. I don't think it's the best tequila, but still pretty good. Sitting in front of a live mariachi, while slowly sipping away an entire bottle of Anejo.... well, it's just awesome...
@Erick Tellez yeah Fortaleza refused to sellout they only make small batches which is why you can't get it everywhere which sucks cuz I have to pay extra for shipping but the quality is worth it
Casa Amigos is now Diffused. It all went to Shit when they Sold it. Obliviously u don’t know Shit about Tequila. Go watch the Tequila Hombre & learn something Grasshopper
Like Don Julio, Casamigos product fell off once they started to blow up. You sacrifice quality for quantity once it gets popular, so you can mass produce at a jacked up price. I still enjoy DJ añejo, but there is a noticeable difference after the buyout.
What a bunch of B.S! Why won't Don Julio release the additives it uses? Do they use a diffuser?(Yes) Are they diffusing 2 1/2 year old immature agaves?(Yes) This is a product where every bottle tastes EXACTLY the same as every other bottle of that expression. THAT is unnatural to tequila. It is the Gallo of tequilas. Tequila, like wine has a Vintage. Agaves grow slightly different every year. That is why the really fine tequilas, such as El Tesoro, Tapatio, G-4, Arte nom 1146, Fortaleza, Lalo and many other non additive tequilas will taste different batch to batch and year to year. And all of the aforementioned tequilas put any Don Julio expressions to shame. This video is just a commercial for a British liquor conglomerate. The more you know the less you will like brands like Don Julio. These guys are sloppy and it shows when they produce a video where Reposed is mispronounced time after time. Few will reject a glass of 1942 but it just doesn't quite taste like tequila..
C man on donkey in picture he is godgrandpa to Darrell and Santiago rapper nore stole diplomat papers from him in early years a donjolio certificate gold stamped .now we see he is owed
My go to daily tequila is Don Julio brands. Don Julio silver, reposado, añejo, Don Julio 1942 and Don Julio 70. Of course for special occassions I go to the hand made, traditionally made tequilas like Fortaleza and Siete Leguas. Stay the hell away from celebrity tequilas, all garbage, inferior product made in questionable methods and with added chemicals and artificial flavoring. PURE CRAP!
What are your thoughts on Don Julio tequila?

Unfortunately the Don Julio réal was discontinued last year and scalpers have jacked up the price on remaining stock.
@@danielayala9577 I'm curious how did you find this out? And what tequila company out there is actually doing it proper?
Got to say 1942 Don Julio is my favorite spirit. So smooth. Need to try it at least once in your life. Worth every penny.
Don Julio's my favorite tequila much better than patron
Did a whole video on tequila and can’t pronounce REPOSADO correctly
Don Julio is merely a name at this point. No distillery uses more highly concentrated additives and expedited yeast along with unripen agave.
Patron or jose cuervo lmao
Used to be a great brand like patrol but now they make with lots of additives and defusers

Yup
Another actually interesting video. Doing better.
Commenting on additives and showing one of the finest and purest out there, Fortaleza smh
$260 bucks here in Aussie
El Tesoro
did she say Res-press-ado? wtf
*Superhighway* - Sadly, this appears to be the sub-standard amongst voiceovers and announcers these days. And... they can't read, either.
🍹🍹🍹🍹
Liquor factories should not use perfume on them selves They should also wear gloves
He sprang into to action. He had sprung.
Absolute fucking horse shit. So many better tequilas with a longer heritage than this. Some still haven't sold out... Cascahuin?
Fortaleza and G4
Don Julio is a very good tequila. I don't think it's the best tequila, but still pretty good. Sitting in front of a live mariachi, while slowly sipping away an entire bottle of Anejo.... well, it's just awesome...
FUNNY

Did you just say "RESPOSADO"??? Huhhhh??
👀
Can we get a video on Casamigos next🥴
Why did casaamigos become popular with hip hop community who told to drink it I'm curious
Casa Amigos is now Diffused. It all went to Shit when they Sold it. Obliviously u don’t know Shit about Tequila. Go watch the Tequila Hombre & learn something Grasshopper

Clase Azul>1942

Fortaleza>Clase Azul
We also see he is 18 generation related to uncle Sam stamped certificate diplomat
Try Lalo tequila, grandson of don Julio ...plenty of tequila better than don Julio went downhill after they sold in 2015

I think 1800 is a better tequila
I totally agree! Talk about SMOOOOTH
Newer Don Julio isn’t the same
No chance. 1800 is bottom shelf.
1800? 🤡
That’s a BIG FACT low bottom there is no way 1800 is better 😂😂😂
