Find Your Bottle
Choose Blanco for a fresh, agave-led Margarita, Reposado for a smooth all-rounder you can sip or mix, Añejo for a richer oak-aged pour, and 1942 when you want a distinctive bottle for a celebration. Rosado adds a Ruby Port cask finish to a Reposado, and 70 Cristalino offers a different take on aged tequila.
Start with how you want to enjoy it, then tap through to the bottle.
For Margaritas
Fresh and unaged, so the agave comes through in a Margarita or Paloma.
One Bottle That Does It All
Eight months in oak for a smooth pour that works neat, over ice or mixed.
A Port-Cask Finish
A Reposado finished in Ruby Port casks, with red fruit and caramel notes. Our pick for a round of shots.
A Richer, Oak-Aged Pour
Eighteen months in oak for a deeper, barrel-led character to take slowly.
Aged but Clear
Aged Añejo, charcoal filtered to remove its colour for a lighter-looking pour.
For a Celebration
An Añejo aged for at least two and a half years, in 70cl or a 5cl miniature.

For Margaritas and Bright Cocktails
Blanco is the fresh, unaged style in the range. Don Julio describes it as a crisp expression made from 100% Blue Weber agave. Its clean agave character makes it a natural pick for a classic Margarita, Paloma or other tequila cocktail where you want the spirit to come through without much barrel influence.

The Popular, Versatile Choice
Reposado rests for eight months in American white-oak barrels, which gives it a golden colour and a richer, smoother profile than Blanco. It works neatly over ice, in a relaxed sipping pour, or in a Margarita when you want a little more warmth and oak.
It’s one of the best-known Don Julio bottles and a familiar choice in music and nightlife culture, particularly in the US. At The Liquor Club, it’s a popular pick for people who want one bottle that can do a bit of everything. If you prefer a shot, serve it as you like; taking a moment to enjoy the flavour is just as welcome.
A Reposado With a Port-Cask Finish
Don Julio describes Rosado as a Reposado finished in Ruby Port wine casks from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The casks give it a delicate pink colour and notes of red fruit and caramel, so it has a different character from the standard Reposado. It’s a special bottle for a celebration, and one we’d also pick for a round of shots.
A Deeper, Oakier Pour
Añejo spends eighteen months in American white-oak barrels, giving it a more developed, barrel-led character. Try it neat or over a large cube when you want to slow down and compare the oak influence with the brighter taste of Blanco or Reposado. It can also be enjoyed as a small, measured shot if that’s your preference.
Availability can change as the range is replenished. Visit the product page to be notified when it’s back.
Aged Character, Clear Appearance
Cristalino starts with aged Añejo tequila, then is charcoal filtered to remove its colour. Don Julio says its 70 Cristalino is aged for at least fifteen months, balancing crisp agave notes with the richness of Añejo. It’s worth considering if you like the idea of an aged tequila but want a lighter-looking pour.
A Celebratory Bottle
Don Julio 1942 is an Añejo tequila, aged for at least two and a half years in American white-oak barrels. The brand describes it as a choice served in cocktail bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Its distinctive bottle and richer profile make it a popular way to mark a birthday, a gathering or another special occasion. Enjoy it slowly, neat or with a little ice.
Both sizes are available now. The 5cl miniature is a handy size for a first taste or a small gift.
Good to know: the brand’s official range lists 1942 as an Añejo. “1942 Reposado” isn’t a product name; if you’re after a Reposado, see Don Julio Reposado or Rosado.
Ageing details and descriptions in this guide are based on Don Julio’s official tequila range. Availability at The Liquor Club may change.
Yes. Its crisp, unaged agave profile makes it a good fit for a classic Margarita and other fresh tequila cocktails.
Either. Its eight months in oak add warmth and smoothness, so it can be sipped on its own or used in cocktails when you want more depth than Blanco.
No. Don Julio 1942 is an Añejo tequila. Don Julio Rosado is a separate bottle: a Reposado finished in Ruby Port wine casks.
Rosado is a Reposado that is finished in Ruby Port wine casks, which gives it a pink colour and red fruit and caramel notes.
