Visiting Don Julio
Visiting the Don Julio Tequila Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, and enjoying a tequila tasting with the Master Distiller, published on the Drinkhacker website.
On a recent visit to Jalisco in Mexico to see several tequila distilleries, I was very taken by the fascinating story of Don Julio. I discovered that Don Julio is not just a brand. Behind it lies a true story of a young Mexican boy who struggled to help his family, and ended up creating this legendary tequila.
After touring the distillery I wrote about Don Julio and his incredible life for the Drinkhacker website. You can read the full story by clicking on the image below.
You can buy a range of Don Julio tequilas from Caskers and from Master of Malt.
