Why do people buy Don Julio 1942?? | Don Julio 1942 Review! | Curiosity Public

[@mcwine18]

Great stuff and thanks for finally doing this one, was always curious about this one! And sick outro music btw

[@steveno7058]

$40 Tequila in $80 packaging. A $80 bottle of Fortaleza Anejo blows this away.

[@giovannisynthesis]

😂 ok calm down tequila expert You been watching too many clips of Americans hating on this tequila.

[@lawrencespies8674]

@@giovannisynthesis Steven O is correct.

[@REB4444]

Yup, that's why it came in 4th on their blind test when their fanboyness couldn't bias their taste.

[@rand-san2095]

[@lrvogt1257]

I liked 1942 ($125 at Costco a few years ago) when I first began sipping tequila but I've grown away from it as I've tasted more and better brands without additives. That said, I like it better than some well-respected, non-additive brands that-for me-have too much earthiness and minerality. Your scores seem right to me.

[@terrykost4677]

Still, it made an impressive christmas gift to brother in law

[@sterling18]

Dillion is spot on, price-wise, you can get Tears for an extra 25 bucks at MSRP. And Tears kick 1942 in the nuts.

[@uduran9907]

For the novice moving up, 1942 is great. For the experienced tequila drinker, no longer an option. There are better options out there under $100. i.e. G4, El Tequileno, Fortaleza, 7 Leguas, ArteNOM 1146, etc.

[@jP-nw7nm]

You know wassup!

[@Toukon4ever]

I literally just tried the primavera yesterday and liked the orange flavors. I'm still very curious about this one though. And honestly the presentation/packaging is easily some of the best you'll find and people will gladly pay extra for that.

[@noname4u2see]

idiots will pay for a nice cardboard box. remember that you don't drink the box

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Interesting considering orange wine refers to the color, not the flavor.

[@sandoval2867]

Thank you for the great review. You guys must try Cazcanez tequila. This is an amazing line.

[@steveno7058]

Giving extra points for 1942 not tasting like additives is puzzling. If something taste like additives it should get minus points. If it doesn't taste like additives it should not get extra credit for that.

[@yianpap6093]

I have an old bottle from before 2000 (in the wooden box), I wonder if they used additives then...I haven't opened it yet, but a later one I tried cerca 2007 was as you describe it.

[@cjdelosreyes]

Hi guys. Would you know how much an old presentation sealed bottle w/ wood box of Don Julio 1942 tequila cost now? Thank you

[@hattorihanzo2814]

$150ish for a bronze is a no deal with plenty of other options out there

[@tomtran1458]

Can you guys please review Dos Artes?

[@TequilaHeadHunter]

I'm looking to see if you have done a video review of Calle 23 Criollo tequila. I think it'll fit perfectly with your scoring system. Seriously, review this asap

[@nredman]

Good stuff - love the TMNT shirts

[@joegrone9671]

I would love to see the list you guys are talking about

[@CuriosityPublic]

This is the one from Tequila Matchmaker/Taste Tequila of confirmed additive free brands: tastetequila.com/2021/confirmed-additive-free-tequila-brands/

[@TerrenceKoch]

Started at 65 (avg), ended at 63 (avg). Take away: buy Tears of Llorona.

[@lrvogt1257]

I agree that Tears is way better. I have a bottle now that I bought myself for the holidays and I like it very much but-for me-it's not worth $270.

[@pickleeater3102]

@@lrvogt1257 I agree. I'm glad I bought a bottle, also at $270, but I wouldn't get it again. Fortaleza all day long.

[@mrfuriouser]

$270...OUCH. I bought one at a cheap, Arizona price of $200. Love it, but not for almost three hunny.

[@jP-nw7nm]

Love you guys for recognizing trash respectfully! Lol

[@greybeard3368]

In my opinion, even Dillion’s 59 is too high. If this was the best tequila a bar had to offer, I’d rather not drink that day.

[@bobsimpson9228]

The answer is good marketing. I'd love to see you guys try some Tequila Ocho or some Cascahuin or even some Caballito but good luck finding a bottle.

[@CuriosityPublic]

We've cracked into Ocho on a live stream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4nZdpeJl6x1pck and have a full review coming.... stay tuned!

[@lrvogt1257]

I have to say I've tried but really dislike Tequila Ocho. I have a bottle now and it's too heavy on flavors i don't like. It tastes like it has brine from a jar of olives which I find unpleasant in it. I'm not saying it's bad or not excellent quality but only that it does not suit me. I feel sort of the same about Cascahuin which leans only slightly in that direction and which I like much better but I'd get Arrete or Tres Agaves first which are very good value... or Partida.

[@brocinco]

What are your thoughts that TMM gave it an 84? I couldnt believe it was that high. Its ridiculous

[@donnelldavis7726]

Am I missing something... can you disprove additives when the claim is No Additives. Bad marks for tasting like no additives when you assume there are additives but with a product claim of no additives. I need clarity.

[@CuriosityPublic]

Not sure when Don Julio has claimed there are not additives in 1942. The NOM regulations allow for 1-4% of the total volume to be additives even when the labeling says "100% agave." They are pretty easy to discern when you've tasted certified additive free tequilas and compare them. Please let us know if Don Julio has claimed somewhere that they don't use additives - it would be interesting to look into further.

[@rogersahagun]

You can definitely check for additives. In a pan on low heat simmer some tequila and when the alcohol evaporates check the pan for its leftovers. A natural no additive anejo will have leftovers that taste bitter like oak from the barrell. If it tastes sweet like cake batter then you know it has additives.

[@GregD87]

The Kardashians made this popular. Since 818 came out though, they have been drinking that instead. It’s the reason my wife has been bugging me for years to buy a bottle but I refuse. We did try a $28 pour at a restaurant though.

[@rangeradams]

Oof. Tough price for an average tequila.

[@Seoul_of_bourbon]

I think you guys should do more blind scoring because some people’s bias is taking over the show. I get Dillon is being satirical, but some people actually watch these for information. Not that this garbage is a good tequila, I just mean in general.

[@ResplendentRaider]

My Bday is on the 30th, so looking to grab a nice bottle this weekend. Definitely wont be 1942! Lol. I have some what lost a little love for these brands that has additives, but then charge crazy prices compared to other brands that’s additive-free. Where I live, it’s tough finding those brands…shout out to TequilaMatch Maker for supplying the additive-free list. Tequila Ocho I can find, along with G4, Partida and a couple others.

[@sotosbrother9389]

Do your ratings translate to tequila match makers ?? Or completely different ??

[@brocinco]

I tasted this 3 years ago and hated it. And i didnt know anything about tequila. It didnt taste right. So im happy to see that i was right. Hahaha. Great video! As always

[@allenbt11]

Funny...Dutch seems to be arguing that Don Julio has the best additives money can buy... Sorry, but in my area you can typically get a Tapatio Excelencia Extra Añejo (1L) and a G4 Anejo and still have enough left over to pay for 2/3 of a Fortaleza Anejo for what the stores are listing this at.

I had no idea that it had additives. Doh.

[@terrywatts1060]

I can watch you all day

[@zerodynamic]

It’s like good plastic surgery 🤣 well said, Dutch!

[@boostedlife.]

Well I guess when money's an issue it's bad.

[@steveno7058]

Pretty embarassing a $200 bottle this poor gets a metal.

[@hitchyourwagon4720]

In a blind tasting with other spirits, don’t think I would even recognize as a tequila? Would not buy for $20 / bottle.

[@giovannisynthesis]

Ironic that only Americans try their hardest to hate on this tequila. For $140 this is a smooth silky honey tequila. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. I don’t see why all the hate especially from guy #3.

[@rogersahagun]

It's overpriced additive garbage, ever since don julio sold out its gone downhill

[@hitchyourwagon4720]

A vanilla vodka would taste similar and be much cheaper.

[@d1ddy852]

This used to be the a high end tequila that was really one of the few available years and years ago. But in today the tequila world is going though a boom and for the money 1942 no longer competes with higher level tequilas out there.

[@rangeradams]

Tried this, it's very average. Can't justify the price.

[@cy156]

The first time I this it was really good plastic surgery! Exactly once you learn about additives you cant lose that taste.

[@iess2006]

Why? Same reason why Patron is so popular...shallow, trendy people love to sip on hype and great marketing. It's overpriced but Reserva de Familia blows 1942 away as do a lot of other offerings I bet.

[@rockonblackops777]

I want to see a blind with non additives vs additives tequila

[@chadwallace3598]

It’s ok but waaayyy too sweet. From the additives.

[@chadwallace3598]

“Nothing is outa whack”? Lol it has additives. It’s all outa whack lol

[@edornelas8275]

Don’t completely agree with you. Great for displaying as a work of art but this is a training tequila for novice that should stay away from celebrity tequilas to be hip & don’t want to drink what you drank in high school & college cheap Jose Cuervo. Of course it doesn’t compare to Fortuleza & others I have bought per Luis Fernandez recommendations & now your show. I will be buying Llorona tequila to try that out. I have been buying a lot of sipping tequilas lately.

[@DG-ne6ch]

Don't waste your $$ on Don Julio 1942

[@punk3r12]

Clearly on the right just not into the tequila, so dramatic over it…

[@ITSALPHA10]

These guys know nothing about tequila Clearly 🤣

[@boostedlife.]

We need new judges that are more up to date on current tequilas! People's preferences are changing. People like additives now. Smoother tequilas not rubbing alcohol

[@zman8340]

Bs … just went out and bought 5 of the bottles they have recommended as a tequila newb . All amazing and way a smoother than I imagined . In many cases much easier to sip than bourbon . All traditional and additive free.

[@allrise9923]

2 Asians and a white talking about tequila 😂

[@giovannisynthesis]

Right? Now they think they know more about tequila haha Meanwhile in Mexico at every party plenty of 1942.

[@rogersahagun]

They definitely know more than both of you though. Don julio is not what it used to be. There are better brands out there that cost less and blow don julio out the water and are additive free as well.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I had this for the first time in a while recently and hated it. Bitter, astringent, clearly altered. Its just the name.
