Join www.DrinkSpirits.com Editor, Geoff Kleinman as he ventures to the Don Julio Distillery for a behind the scenes look at how they make Don Julio Tequila. See more at: www.drinkspirits.com/tequila/t...
Its really intreasting and knowledgeable for me for being myself as a Bartender i learned a lot from this video rather than from google...than you sooo much again doing this all ....
The town of Tequila a wonderful place, sure the roads are horrible but when you see all the work the "Jimadores" (harvesters) put in and the process of making it, it is a wonderful thing.
Geoff, I just found this while showing my aunt and uncle how piñas are harvested. Pretty damn cool that you did this and that DJ allowed the footage. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
Very informative. I do not drink alcohol, but I saw the plant and followed the "trail"😊. These plants grow huge here in Florida. Maybe a cousin to the agave😊 thx again.
Oh you were in the Highlands- "Los Altos de Jalisco"... That's where my maternal grandparents are from- Tepatitlan. I want to visit the town of my roots :(
Don Julio is a premium tequila brand, and the process makes it very smooth. I’m only familiar with Don Julio’s Silver, depending on how long the tequila rests in the barrel will affect how smooth the final product is. I recently bought a bottle of Hornitos Reposado. Silver rests for 2 to 4 months, reposado for 7 months, and añejo ages for at least 14 months. I just bought a sample bottle of Casamigos añejo, and I must say it is very nice.
@@juancastellon7183 None of that is correct. Aging a tequila longer does not make it smoother. A silver tequila is always aged less than 2 months, a reposado is aged for 2-12 months, an anejo is aged for 1-3 years, and an extra anejo is aged for more than three years
I don’t drink anymore since i was 19,but this was so neat to watch so informative. I love your channel! Really detailed and i can see time and care goes into them! Love it
Was great to see their process. I am a fan of Don Julio's tequila. On a visit to the highlands of Jalisco, Don Julio unfortunately was not doing any tours. We were able to visit the Siete Leguas Fabrica and were impressed. Siete Leguas still uses the tahona stone led by burros to grind their agave.
Hello & Hi, thanks for sharing this wonderful video on Tequila making. Though I had an opportunity to have tasted Tequila only once in my life, the way you explained the process was exceptional. Cheers!
Thanku for this.. I m doing b.sc in hospitality and hotel administration . Today I was studying about tequila and this video helped me to understand and remember it better.
Genuinely fascinating perspective of process. Don Julio was recommended to me in El Paso by a barman named Frank at Carlos & Mickey's airport restaurant. Best Tequila!
I was never a fan of tequila until I tried Don Julio. It is the best in the world and the only tequila in my private collection. Thank you for making this video. It was very informative.
Roz Pierce actually its nothing compare to 7 Leguas Tequila it come from the same place that don julio in Atotonilco El Alto Jalisco Guadalajara they only sell it in Mexico and not everywhere. If u ever get a chance to go try it everybody prefers 7 Leguas than don julio, patron, etc.
Very cool. I'm a bit of a blue collar booze snob, mostly whiskeys, and beer. Trying to get more intel on the process of tequila. I learned quite a bit about the manufacturing process. Good vid!
The Patrón Hacienda is the nicest I have ever seen and their process is different! They use the Tahona wheel process as well which completely changes the flavours and use pine wood for their tanks and copper for the stills. I really recommend it!
Jeff, do you have any information on fermenting cactus ? Thank for the tour, it reminded me of the Bacardi Rum factory tour in Puerto Rico which we did as a family several times in the 70's.
