Don Julio Primavera is a limited edition reposado with an unusual finish. After resting in oak, the tequila is finished in orange wine casks, which lends a bright citrus lift on top of the rounded, gently oaked character a reposado delivers. The name means spring, and the whole bottle is built around that idea: a tall, tapered clear decanter that tapers to a fine point, finished with a pale wood stopper and a warm orange neck band, presented in a matching orange box. It is one of the more elegant bottles in the Don Julio range and needs no additional gift packaging. The liquid is made from 100% blue agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). It pours a pale golden straw. The nose is fresh and inviting, with orange blossom, candied citrus peel and cooked agave over light vanilla oak. The palate is smooth and lightly sweet, layering agave, honey and orange zest with soft baking spice. The finish is clean and citrus driven, noticeably brighter than a standard reposado. Serve it neat, over ice, or in a Paloma or margarita where the citrus character carries through beautifully.
