Don Julio 1942 Añejo Tequila — Year of the Goat Limited Edition

This is the2027 Lunar New Year / Year of the Goat limited-edition presentation of Don Julio 1942 Añejo. The liquid is the familiar Don Julio 1942 profile, while the bottle and gift box are redesigned in a strikingred, green and gold Year of the Goat motif. Current U.S. listings show it as a750mL, 40% ABV / 80 proof release. 

Cask program: standard Don Julio 1942 is an añejo tequila matured inAmerican white oak barrels. I’m not seeing a separate wine-, sherry-, Port- or Cognac-cask finish for this Goat edition, so I would treat it as the standard 1942 maturation program with special packaging rather than a distinct liquid release.

The profile is rich and polished, with the familiarvanilla, caramel, butterscotch, oak and sweet cooked agave character that defines 1942. The appeal here is largely collector/gift driven because of the limited Lunar New Year design rather than a new recipe.
