Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

Underneath the red-and-gold bottle and equestrian art is Don Julio 1942 Añejo, the same liquid aged over two and a half years, dressed for the Year of the Horse. The limited-edition 2026 packaging blends the traditional Mexican ikat rebozo pattern with the Chinese Zodiac horse, which makes it as much a display piece as a pour. In the glass, expect caramel, sweet vanilla and roasted agave on the nose with a touch of tropical fruit. A full, smooth palate of toffee, oak, baking spice, dried fruit and creamy butterscotch follows, then a long finish of toasted oak, vanilla bean and gentle pepper. It suits the collector who follows zodiac editions, the gifter who wants a bottle with the occasion built in, and the añejo drinker looking for a dessert-leaning sipper rather than a mixer. We carry it because the liquid, a Gold medalist at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, earns its place on its own, and the packaging gives it a reason to come out at a celebration.

Pairs well with

High-end dark chocolate — The bitterness of good chocolate frames the tequila's caramel, toffee and butterscotch sweetness.
Aged cheeses — Nutty, savory cheeses play well against the toasted oak and warm baking spices on the palate.
Lunar New Year toast — The Year of the Horse packaging and long vanilla-oak finish make it a fitting pour for the holiday's celebrations.

Questions about this bottle

How is this different from the standard Don Julio 1942?

The tequila inside is the same award-winning 1942 Añejo, aged over two and a half years. What changes is the limited-edition 2026 packaging: a red-and-gold bottle with equestrian art that blends the Mexican ikat rebozo pattern with the Chinese Zodiac horse.

What does it taste like?

The nose shows rich caramel, sweet vanilla, roasted agave and a touch of tropical fruit. The palate is smooth and full-bodied with toffee, oak, warm baking spice, dried fruit and creamy butterscotch. The finish is long, with toasted oak, vanilla bean and subtle peppery heat.

What is the best way to drink it?

Sip it neat in a snifter or Glencairn glass to take in the full aroma, or pour it over a single large ice cube to soften the richness slightly. It is crafted for sipping, so we recommend skipping cocktails.

Is it a good gift, and what size is the bottle?

Yes. It is a 750 ml limited-edition 2026 release in striking Year of the Horse packaging, which makes it a natural choice for Lunar New Year, collectors of zodiac editions, or anyone marking a special occasion with a sipping tequila.
