It's the añejo lovers already reach for, dressed for the shelf a serious tequila collector wants to display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liquid is unchanged from the standard 1942: 100% blue Weber agave, aged a minimum of two and a half years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750 mL format. It is distilled at NOM 1449 in the highlands of Jalisco, the DNA of a house that traces back to 1942, when a 17-year-old Don Julio González founded his first distillery, La Primavera, in Atotonilco el Alto. That long barrel rest is what separates the 1942 from the brand's younger reposado — it leans into oak and dessert-spice territory most añejos only hint at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, cooked agave and vanilla bean lead, followed by warm caramel, baked pear, and a light dusting of cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it turns full-bodied and glossy: toasted oak, dark chocolate, black pepper, and honeyed agave, with a butterscotch roundness underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and silky, closing on lingering caramel and a gentle peppery warmth rather than any bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this bottle apart is the packaging and the occasion, not a change to the spirit. Don Julio runs an annual Lunar New Year series, and the 2027 Year of the Goat \"Intertwined\" edition pairs a refined Chinese aesthetic with bold Mexican color to mark a zodiac year — a festive counterpart to the brand's other 2026-27 collectibles like the FIFA World Cup release. For anyone who already loves the 1942 pour, this is the version worth saving for a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat or over a single large cube in a rocks glass to let the oak and caramel open up; it stands up beautifully to a Lunar New Year table, from char siu pork to braised short rib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this tequila?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA limited-edition, collectible presentation of Don Julio 1942 Añejo released for the 2027 Lunar New Year, Year of the Goat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% blue Weber agave añejo, aged a minimum of 2.5 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, 40% ABV (80 proof), 750 mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCooked agave, vanilla, and caramel on the nose; oak, dark chocolate, black pepper, and honeyed agave on the palate; a long, silky, caramel-and-spice finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should you enjoy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat or over one large ice cube in a rocks glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's the Year of the Goat entry in Don Julio's annual Lunar New Year series, wrapping the standard 1942 añejo in an \"Intertwined\" dragon-and-phoenix collector's box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"J \u0026 J Allied","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50035903987960,"sku":"19231","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/don-julio-1942-goat.jpg?v=1784740556","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/don-julio-1942-lunar-new-year-of-the-goat-2027-limited-edition-tequila","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
