What Went Down at the Tequila Don Julio Immersive Tasting Experience at Mercer Labs
Por Amor: An Immersive Tasting Experience gave guests a glimpse into the story behind Don Julio González and his aged expressions of tequila.
Tequila Don Julio hosted the first-ever brand takeover at Mercer Labs, bringing the house’s rich history to life through art and technology. Mercer Labs has ushered in a new wave of sensory-driven experiences, and this one invited guests into the sights and sounds of Mexico, allowing them to be immersed in the legacy of the famed tequila maker.
Tequila Don Julio is shaped by the warm climate, rich natural ingredients and strong spirit of Mexico. The brand actually began with Reposado, and each of its expressions — including Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino and Tequila Don Julio 1942 as well — are imbued with notes of oak and roasted agave, two ingredients that are expertly cultivated in the Jaliscan highlands. Through floor-to-ceiling light displays, 4D activations and even custom cocktail-creating stations, visitors were transported through the journey of the spirit.
Guests who attended the Por Amor: An Immersive Tasting Experience, from June 12-15, were also guided through the founder Don Julio González’s history, when he started the brand and his La Primavera-based distillery decades ago, and now it’s has become an internationally-recognized staple in the luxury tequila arena.
