Don Julio 1942 ‘Year of the Goat’ 2027 Limited Edition Anejo Release

This is Don Julio 1942 doing what it does better than just about anyone: it delivers pure luxury in every sip. The nose opens with butterscotch, fresh popcorn, vanilla custard and warm cinnamon that just draws you in right away. On the palate, it’s incredibly silky and smooth, with velvety caramel and dark chocolate weaving through toasted almonds and a hint of dried orange peel that adds a beautiful brightness. The finish is long, warming and elegant with some vanilla bean, and a hint of chocolate with a caramelized agave flavor that stays with you well after the glass is empty. This is dessert and a digestif rolled into one extraordinary bottle. The fact that it comes in one of the better looking pieces of packaging I’ve ever seen for a spirits release make this a must-have. Especially if you or a loved one was born in 1931,1943,1955,1967,1979,1991,2003 or even 2015 (if you’re stashing it away!)
