Don Julio 70 Day of the Dead 2026 Limited Edition
Don Julio 70 Day of the Dead 2026 Limited Edition
Don Julio 70 Day of the Dead Limited Edition is a special Día de Muertos release of the world's first Cristalino Añejo. For this edition, Don Julio partners with Patricio Campillo — the Mexico City-born designer hailed as the next icon of modern Mexicanity — who follows Willy Chavarria's footsteps as the house's collaborator and brings the Marigold Bridge concept to life on the bottle, evoking the petal-lined path that guides spirits home during the celebration.
The liquid is the Don Julio 70 that made cristalino a category: añejo tequila aged in American white-oak barrels, then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity so the agave shines through the oak. Expect sweet cooked agave, vanilla, and honey on the nose, a silky palate of toasted oak, dried fruit, and a touch of caramel, and a clean, crisp finish that drinks far lighter than its age suggests.
Limited-edition Don Julio bottles disappear quickly, and the Day of the Dead artwork makes this one as displayable as it is drinkable — a natural gift for tequila collectors and Día de Muertos celebrations alike. Pair it with our Don Julio 1942 and the rest of the Don Julio lineup to round out a top-shelf tequila collection. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the person who sets out an ofrenda every November, or the friend who collects bottles as much for the shelf as for the glass. Mexico City-born designer Patricio Campillo dressed this Día de Muertos edition with a new cork, neck-tie and artwork inspired by the marigold-petal path that guides spirits home, so it reads as a thoughtful tribute before it is ever opened. Inside is Don Julio 70, an añejo tequila made from 100% blue weber agave, aged in American white-oak barrels and then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity. Expect sweet cooked agave, vanilla and honey on the nose, a silky palate of dried fruit and a touch of caramel, and a clean, crisp, lightly sweet finish. It sips beautifully slightly chilled, holds up over a single large cube, and makes a polished Don Julio 70 and soda for a gathering. It is a considered gift for a Día de Muertos dinner, a generous host, or a tequila lover who appreciates a story on the label.
Pairs well with
- Pan de muerto — The sweet bread's orange and sugar notes echo the tequila's honey and vanilla, making a natural match for the season.
- Dark chocolate with chile — The chocolate's warmth and gentle heat play against the caramel, dried fruit and toasted oak on the palate.
- Día de Muertos dinner gift — The Marigold Bridge artwork honors the celebration, and the lightly sweet, crisp finish makes it easy to share around the table.
Questions about this bottle
What is a Cristalino Añejo?
Don Julio 70 is an añejo tequila aged in American white-oak barrels and then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity. The filtration removes the color while letting the agave shine through the oak, so you get añejo depth in a clear spirit. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750 mL bottle.
What does it taste like?
The nose offers sweet cooked agave, vanilla and honey with a hint of toasted oak. The palate is silky and smooth, layering agave sweetness with vanilla, dried fruit and a touch of caramel. The finish is clean, crisp and lightly sweet, with lingering agave.
Who designed this Day of the Dead bottle?
Mexico City-born designer Patricio Campillo created this edition, following Willy Chavarria as Don Julio's collaborator. His design brings the Marigold Bridge concept to life, evoking the petal-lined path that guides spirits home, with a new cork, neck-tie and artwork honoring the bonds that connect generations.
How should I serve it?
Sip it neat and slightly chilled in a tequila glass or snifter, or pour it over a single large cube to keep it crisp. It also works well in a Don Julio 70 and soda, a top-shelf margarita, a paloma or an añejo old fashioned.
