Don Julio 1942 Tequila 50ml Miniature is the full Añejo experience in a pocket-sized pour. Crafted in small batches in Jalisco from 100% blue Weber agave and aged a minimum of two-and-a-half years in American white oak barrels, 1942 sits at the luxury end of the category — a sipping tequila that opened the door for premium agave spirits to take over the top shelf.
The 50ml format delivers the same liquid as the full bottle: warm caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak on the palate, with soft agave sweetness and a long, rounded finish. It drinks beautifully neat from a snifter, and it is one of the few mini-sized tequilas worth buying to taste rather than mix. Ideal for sampling before committing to a 750ml, for slipping into a gift bag, for tasting flights, or for travel and on-the-go sipping.
Don Julio González began releasing 1942 in the early 2000s to mark the year he began distilling, and the Añejo remains one of the most requested premium tequilas at top bars and restaurants worldwide. If 1942 is your benchmark, we also stock Don Julio 70 Añejo Claro and the FIFA World Cup limited edition — both natural follow-ups.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Don Julio's Añejo in miniature: a 50 ml pour of the same liquid that fills the full bottle. It is made in small batches in Jalisco from 100% blue Weber agave and aged a minimum of two-and-a-half years in American white oak. On the nose it opens with rich caramel and chocolate. The palate brings warm oak, vanilla and roasted agave, and the finish lingers with more oak and vanilla. It suits the curious drinker who wants to know what a luxury sipping tequila tastes like before committing to a 750 ml. It also fits the enthusiast building a tasting flight or packing something special for travel. Few minis are worth buying to taste rather than mix, and this is one of them. We carry it because it is an honest, low-stakes way to meet a benchmark Añejo on its own terms, neat from a snifter. It also makes a thoughtful addition to a gift bag for anyone who appreciates aged agave spirits.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — Its bittersweet depth echoes the tequila's rich caramel and chocolate aromas.
- Aged cheese board — Nutty, savory aged cheeses set off the warm oak and vanilla sweetness on the palate.
- Home tequila tasting flight — A mini this size lets you set its oak-rested caramel and roasted agave profile beside other pours without opening a full bottle.
