A Cultural Masterpiece: The 2026 Marigold Bridge Edition
Following in the visionary footsteps of Willy Chavarria, the 2026 Don Julio 70 Día de Muertos Limited Edition partners with Patricio Campillo, a Mexico-City born designer representing a new generation of talent showcasing the best of Mexican fashion on the global stage. As the highly anticipated third edition in this artist series, Campillo brings the "Marigold Bridge" concept to life, celebrating Mexican heritage through an iconic, limited-edition bottle design.
The Original Cristalino Añejo
Inside this exclusive Día de Muertos collector's release is the world-renowned Don Julio 70 Cristalino Añejo Tequila. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco Highlands, this tequila is aged for 18 months in American white-oak barrels. It then undergoes a signature charcoal filtration process to restore its crystal-clear color. This innovative method results in a tequila that perfectly combines the rich complexity and toasted oak notes of a traditional añejo with the crisp, bright agave character of a blanco. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright and inviting with prominent notes of crisp agave, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and delicate floral undertones.
Palate: Incredibly smooth and velvety on the tongue, delivering rich flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and warm vanilla. These sweeter notes are beautifully balanced by hints of chocolate, baking spice, and roasted citrus.
Finish: Exceptionally clean, silky, and elegant. It leaves a lingering warmth with a whisper of sweet oak.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What makes the 2026 Día de Muertos edition special? This limited-edition release is the third edition in Don Julio's artist collaboration series. Designed by acclaimed Mexican designer Patricio Campillo, the bottle visually brings the "Marigold Bridge" concept to life to honor modern Mexican identity, cultural resilience, and the spirit of the holiday.
What is a Cristalino Añejo Tequila? Cristalino is a category of tequila where an aged spirit (in this case, an 18-month añejo) undergoes a specialized charcoal filtration process. This removes the amber color and smooths out the flavor profile, resulting in a tequila that retains the deep vanilla and oak complexity of an añejo but finishes with the crispness of a silver (blanco) tequila.
How should I serve Don Julio 70 Cristalino? To fully appreciate its refined balance of agave, oak, and vanilla, it is highly recommended to enjoy this tequila neat or poured over a single large ice cube. It also serves as an exceptional base for premium cocktails, such as an elevated Margarita, Tequila Martini, or Cristalino Old Fashioned.
