Tequila Don Julio Crystal Tequila Snifters by Jeffrey Beers


Tequila Don Julio recently partnered with world-renowned architect Jeffrey Beers (The Fontainbleau Resort in Miami and Las Vegas, Japonais, The Cove Atlantis, Fiamma) to design a limited-edition extra añejo snifter glass to highlight Don Julio’s authenticity and sophistication in the world of luxury. Beers worked closely with Don Julio’s Master Distiller to design the ideal glass for sipping the portfolio’s most exclusive offerings, particularly the extra-añejo Real which is aged for three to five years in American Oak barrels.

The stemless glassware has a faceted, jewel-like quality with intricate cuts to help swirl the tequila and release its rich aromas. Every snifter was individually mouth blown and hand cut to precision by Czech glass masters using fine European crystal. The limited-edition glasses will be available at select boutiques this fall with a suggested retail price of $350. They are currently available nationally at On The Fly
