12/19/2007 | i have been drinking diferent tequila's for thirty years. this is the smoothest i have ever tasted. makes for an expensive margarita but if you do do it on the rocks with resposado and cointreau and pure lime juice fantastic

05/09/2007 | One of the finest tequilas you can buy. Throw your toys (salt and lime) out and enjoy this slowly, the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Keep in mind that with Don Julio, and tequilas in general, there are different classifications. Don Julio has five - Blanco (or Silver), Repesado, Anejo, 1942, and Real. I am generally not a fan of the blancos, and have yet to try the Real (very expensive), but have thoroughly enjoyed the other three. In fact, I actually prefer the Anejo to the 1942, which is a higher classification.
You will find Don Julio to be a smooth drink with a noticeable oak and very subtle fruit components. The fruit seems to shine a bit more on the Anejo, and the 1942 is noticeably more oaken.
Having tried most of the other premium tequilas, Don Julio is the only one I keep in the house (other than Cuervo for mixed drinks).

03/22/2007 | I enjoy Don Julio, especially if someone else is paying for it, I can't speak for the rest of you Connoisseurs but I drink tequila often enough that cost becomes a factor in my evaluation, so I give it a 5 for taste and a 3 for price, 4 stars overall. I look for 100% Agave for under $40 per 750ml.

03/10/2007 | When I was younger it used to burn, now that I'm older it doesn't have to....that's what sold me and I have enjoyed it ever since. Now I'm finding out about the others,Blanco is so smooth,Resposdo is unigue and I can't wait for my bottle of 1942 to arrive. Patron had that slight wincing that you definetly get from the cheaper Tequila's. Yummy,Don Julio

01/31/2006 | This a high quality Tequila. I spent a week in Cabo san Lucas and tasted many tequlas and this
is one of the best. I particularly enjoyed the Anjeos because it gave me that extra punch but not the knockout burn of a cheaper brand, I would recommend this as one of the top tiers.
I did come back with this a 4 others i enjoyed

01/13/2006 | I had not tried any tequilas other than Jose Q, until I tried Don Julio Silver. This is the great stuff, no lime and salt required for this drink. Addictive, but life is too short for the cheap stuff. I tried many and nothing is as good.

12/16/2005 | 1800 actually has more full flavor. Unless served absolutly chilled the pepper will give slight backlash at the end. Won,t recommend over any other. Average taste slight bite. Recommend with salt and lime, doing without isn,t worth it. Sorry to burst bubbles...it can,t do better than 1800. My first bottle will be my last.

10/14/2005 | a tour guide in mexico told my daughter to buy sauza three generations silver if she wanted the best there is. obviously that person has never tasted good tequlia. nothing compares to dj anejo. sip it slow and let it trickle down your throat. don't ruin it with fruit or salt.

10/03/2005 | Don Julio Reposado was first recommended to me by a vendor in a Mexican liquour store full of the finest tequila. I have tasted many brands and have not had many that surpass this experience.

08/29/2005 | This Tequila is good enough that no chaser (not even a piece of lemon) is needed. Treat it like a fine wine. Sip it to the last drop. Long live Don Julio!!!

05/11/2005 | Don Julio gold is very smooth, no after taste like Cuervo. Best straight up, no lime needed. I compared it to several others and DJ is the best.

10/07/2004 | Hi, this is Eagle from germany.
For sure Don Julio is the best tequila I ever had the pleasure to test. My problem is, where to find Don Julio except of Mexico.
I'm trying hard in every country I am and I am traveling a lot cause of business. May I have any clue.

One of the benchmark light-bodied tequilas. Incomparably smooth, with well balanced citrus and vanilla.
A must-have for any collection.

06/04/2004 | I just went to a local bar and tried three anejo tequillas. I started with Patron- this had the best flavor, really creamy with a touch of vanilla, but it wasn't that smooth on the way to the back of the throat. Don Julio was 2nd. It didn't really have much flavor, but it was by far the smoothest tequilla I've ever had. Last was Chinaco - ouch! That stuff burns. I had two sips and that was enough for me.

05/21/2003 | Anejo is smooth, sweet and full flavored. Great oaky taste. Not to be mixed in sugar/salt drinks though. just straight, or seasoned

04/17/2003 | A friend of mine recently shared two different tequillas with me which he brought back from Mexico. The first was touted by his father-in-law as "the best". When I tasted it, I had to agree. It was the best tequilla I'd ever tasted. Then he shared the Don Julio Anejo with me. Quite honestly, if someone offered me a shot of the other tequilla, I'd throw rocks at them. Don Julio is absolutely the best.

12/26/2002 | We go on an annual golf trip to Arizona with the guys. They introduced me to Don Julio Anejo. We have compared other tequillas on the comparison list and they don't even come close. Anyone who thinks you need salt and lemon to enjoy tequilla really needs to try this stuff. I recently received a bottle of the good stuff "Anejo" for Christmas. I'll continue to try other brands but Don Julio is my proven choice. I tried another variety of Don Julio may have been silver but it was not nearly as good. Anejo is the one.

11/27/2002 | It would be unbelievable to conceive that anyone who has had Don would not rank it at least a 10 (on the 5 scale)
NO ONE in Mexico drinks Jose Cuervo. At least 90% drink (or would drink) Don if they could afford it.
This really isnt "drinking" tequilla. It is meant to be sipped and enjoyed.Anejo is the best Don

10/30/1999 | Whoever rated this tequila lower than a five has not had it. If ever in Mexico, look for the square bottle; this stuff is so smooth you can sip it like wine.
