Process & Production

Don Julio 70th Anniversary Día de los Muertos 2026 Añejo Claro Tequila begins as an authentic añejo crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested in Jalisco, Mexico. Following double distillation, the tequila is matured for approximately 18 months in American white oak barrels, allowing it to develop the rich flavors and complexity expected from an aged tequila. After maturation, it undergoes a proprietary charcoal filtration process that removes its color while preserving much of the depth and richness gained during barrel aging. This innovative process creates a cristalino tequila that combines the crisp agave-forward character of a blanco with the elegance of an añejo. The 2026 Día de los Muertos edition showcases this celebrated tequila in collectible packaging inspired by Mexico's vibrant Day of the Dead traditions.
