Overview
Añejo Tequila | Destilería La Primavera
100% Blue Weber Agave  · Los Altos), Jalisco  ·  38% ABV

Don Julio Import Crystal Claro Añejo is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. It's aged around 18 months in American white oak, then charcoal-filtered to strip the colour back to crystal clear while keeping the aged character underneath.

You get the smoothness of a proper añejo with the light, easy-drinking feel of a blanco. Solid pick if you want the depth of ageing without the heavy oak colour sitting in your glass.

This is the import edition of Don Julio 70, bottled at 700ml for markets outside the US.

Distillery Information

Made at Destilería La Primavera in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco Highlands (NOM 1449). The distillery was founded in 1942 by Don Julio González, who is credited with shifting the tequila industry's focus toward quality and premium production at a time when that wasn't the norm. That legacy continues to shape how the range is crafted today.

The Highland location remains central to what makes the Don Julio range stand out. Agave grown at altitude produces naturally sweeter, more complex flavour — and with 18 months in barrel to build on that foundation, the añejo has every opportunity to develop into something genuinely special.

How to enjoy

Good in a margarita, a Director's Martini, or with soda over ice. Also easy enough to drink neat if that's your style.
