We sent six blanco tequilas to 28 members of the Tequila Matchmaker Tasting Panel to rate blind. Four of them are new to the market, and two of them are tequilas that have been around for a long time.
Don Julio is just a solid brand and tequila at all levels. It's good for mixing and sipping. It's easy to find and pleasing on many levels.
After 40 plus years of drinking tequila, next to Patron, Don Julio is probably the tequila I have consumed the most of. In my mid 30s and early 40s these two brands were what I thought were the best. After going to the traditional side of tequila, I haven’t looked back on my old standard DJ although I will drink Patron in a pinch because it is half way decent. The nose on this is like a cinnamon apple cake. The taste is ok but still has an artificial taste to it. This taste nothing like the tequila that I drink these days but I can see why a person that doesn’t know what tequila is supposed to taste like might think this is great. It is easy to drink and goes down smoothly. Probably just what Don Julio was looking for. For me, it’s a pass.
