DJ has 4% additives. Glycerin, oak, agave syrup, and caramel for color. DJ Real at $350, is a bigger rip off. I did a taste test with some tequila friends, 1942 and Real. No one could tell the difference.
I drank both of them. If you can't tell the difference between these two, then by the cheaper one. LOL! I avoid that little bottle. But if they're the same to you, buy the lower priced one! Easy peazy!
@@terrance0421 its an on-site liquor store inside of the Kroger grocery store on Montgomery RD, in Cincinnati OH. We got a case of them in with a weekly delivery but have still only sold a couple of them still even after marking down to 79.99
Great video g. I was trying to stunt for my bday last week and buy the tall bottle but my wife found out the smaller bottle is pretty much the same thing . The tall bottle was 170 on sale and the small bottle was 55
All Don Julios use additives. I'll only buy tequila with no additives. See TasteTequila additive-free tequila brands. For great flavor and value I prefer Arette and Tapatio.
@@jakefever : Additives are only necessary for tequila that is lacking. Once you really recognize it you know your drinking glycerin, oak extract, caramel coloring, and sugar-based syrup.
@lrvogt1257 thats cool with me, i want it to taste good. but everyone does additives. It can be addictive free if it has less than a certain percentage
real tequila drinkers know the difference lol... go to a tequila maker in Mexico and taste the different versions that they create.... you will taste the difference immediately... you didn't cleanse your palate after the first drink lol... you cant mix drinks and rate...
1942 is roughly $140-$175 & Marketing is a MoFo.....do you honestly think letting a Liquor rest an Additional 12-18mnths in a Barrel costs 2-3 times more in Preparation-Production-Bottling ???...A sales manager from a Liquor Distributor told me 25yrs ago that 1/3 to 1/2 of the Cost of Booze Is The Bottle Design...1/4 to 1/3 is the actual Juice in the Bottle and rest is Advertising-Marketing cost
I agree that the 1942 is not worth the money. If you want a really good bottle of tequila you’ll want Fortaleza. It’s hard to find these days but it’s very good and not harsh and it’s made the traditional way with properly matured agave and it’s made with the tahona method of extracting the juice from the agave. Plus it’s a family owned distilled and not owned by a corporation like the Don Julio brand is.
That oak taste in the tall bottle definitely throws me off, I’ve always wondered what to describe the taste I got off of it and watching this video oakier taste is the best way to describe it
If you shoot the drink do not expect to be able to taste the difference. I have tasted both and the 1942 is heads and shoulder better than the Anejo. I never shoot good tequila, I always sip. And if you use a tasting glass it helps in comparing different tequilas (or other fine liquors).
