Don Julio Blanco Tequila is indeed a 100% blue agave tequila. This means that every drop of tequila in the bottle is made solely from the blue agave plant. The use of the term “100% blue agave” is a mark of quality and authenticity in the tequila industry.
The blue agave plant is a succulent that is native to Mexico and is primarily grown in the state of Jalisco. The agave plants used to make Don Julio Blanco are carefully selected from the fields surrounding the town of Atotonilco. These fields have a long history of producing high-quality agave, and the agave plants are hand-picked by skilled workers who understand the importance of selecting only the best plants for tequila production.
Once the agave plants are harvested, they are cooked to extract the sugars needed for fermentation. This cooking process is a crucial step in tequila production, as it helps to release the flavors and aromas of the agave. The cooked agave is then crushed to extract the juice, which is then fermented and distilled to create the final product.
Don Julio Blanco Tequila is known for its smooth and clean taste, with notes of citrus and agave sweetness. The careful selection and processing of the blue agave plants contribute to the high quality and distinctive flavor profile of this tequila.

I can personally attest to the quality and authenticity of this tequila. The 100% blue agave designation ensures that you are getting a pure and premium product, without any additives or fillers.
