Updated April 2026.
Don Julio Blanco prints 40% alc./vol. on the US brand page — “DON JULIO TEQUILA. 40% ALC./VOL.” A 1.5-ounce pour is one NIAAA standard drink. It is 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco (Diageo). Reposado, Añejo, and 1942 are other ages, not other proofs unless the neck says so. Some export markets print 38%. We will not reprint a 2021 price grid.
CRT/NOM identity still applies. The NOM is on the bottle (commonly associated with the Don Julio facility — confirm the four digits). Compare tequila types, Casamigos, and tequila drink count.
Core US line vs the rest
| SKU | Typical US ABV | 1.5 oz drinks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blanco | 40% | 1.00 | US brand page footer 40% alc./vol. |
| Reposado / Añejo / 1942 | Usually 40% on US bottles | 1.00 if 40% | Age class changes; proof may not. Read the neck |
| Some export SKUs | 38% where so labeled | 0.95 | Taiwan/other-market pages print 38%. |
| 750 mL Blanco | 40% | ~17 drinks in the bottle | NIAAA math |
A 1.75 L 40% handle is about 39.5 shots. Four Blanco pours are four drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Unopened tequila does not spoil like beerdoes tequila go bad. No 2026 MSRP; 1942 street prices move.
