Don Julio Anejo is a graceful, oak-aged tequila that fits beautifully into an evening at Grappa, our Mediterranean restaurant in Queen Anne. Patient barrel aging gives it a refined warmth that rewards slow sipping.

About the Distillery

Don Julio is among the most celebrated names in tequila, founded by Don Julio Gonzalez, a pioneer who helped define the modern luxury category. The distillery in the highlands of Jalisco is known for meticulous craftsmanship, from agave selection through extended aging. The anejo expression reflects that legacy of refinement and consistency.

Agave & Region

This tequila is made from blue Weber agave grown in Los Altos, the highland region of Jalisco. The elevated terrain, red iron-rich soil, and cool nights coax larger, sweeter agave with a softer, more floral profile than lowland fruit. Those highland qualities carry through every sip, giving the spirit its rounded, elegant foundation.

Tasting Notes

Time in oak brings warm notes of caramel, honey, and vanilla layered over cooked agave. Hints of toasted wood and dried fruit add depth, while a touch of baking spice lingers on a smooth, satisfying finish. It is polished and mellow from start to close.

What to Pair It With

Its caramel-and-spice warmth complements the Spicy Sausage Rigatoni, taming the heat with sweetness. It also shines beside Grappa’s Famous Paella and the smoky char of our Spaniard Octopus. Discover more on the full dine-in menu.
