Don Julio 1942 in its FIFA World Cup 2026 Edition livery, paired with a matching 50ml miniature of the same tequila. The full size bottle keeps the tall, tapered silhouette that made 1942 instantly recognisable, finished here in brushed gold with deep green accents, a green stone style stopper, and a neck medallion marking Don Julio as an Official Tequila Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026, the tournament co hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United States. It arrives in a tall green and gold presentation box, and the 50ml miniature comes in its own matching carton, which makes the pair work either as a gift with something to keep or as a way to taste before opening the display bottle. The liquid is the same in both. Don Julio 1942 is a tequila añejo made from 100% blue agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, harvested at full maturity and aged for a minimum of two and a half years, considerably longer than the one year the añejo category requires. That extended time in oak is what gives it the famously soft, dessert leaning profile the bottle is known for. It pours a warm golden amber. The nose is rich with vanilla, warm caramel and toasted oak over gentle cooked agave. The palate is exceptionally smooth and rounded, layering butterscotch, vanilla, roasted agave and warm baking spice with a hint of chocolate and toasted almond. The finish is long, sweet and oaky, with lingering caramel and a touch of pepper. Best served neat at room temperature in a snifter or copita, where the sweetness and oak have room to open. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
