Chavarria brings his unique vision to the Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino Artist Edition bottle with meticulously crafted designs that showcase his signature style with roses paired with interpretations of classic Mexican iconography from the Día de Muertos holiday. Inspired by the people who live Por Amor (for love), the bottle embodies the vibrant spirit of Mexico.
"I am deeply inspired by my Mexican heritage which I strive to represent through my art and design," says Willy Chavarria. "The Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino Artist Edition bottle along with my recent collection is a heartfelt illustration of the synergy between time-honored tradition and Mexico's modernism."
Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino originally launched in 2012 in celebration of the 70th anniversary of when Don Julio González first revolutionized the tequila category. Aged to perfection for 18 months in American white oak barrels, Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino offers the rich complexities of a traditional Añejo with a modern twist. This special liquid embodies the essence of innovation as it was the first Añejo Cristalino Tequila to implement a charcoal filtration process that imparts a pure crystal hue and brings out the crisp agave flavor typically found in a Blanco marking an evolution in luxury tequila.
"Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino is a symbol of our leadership and love for tequila craft," says Karen Harris, Vice President of Tequila Don Julio, DIAGEO NA. "We are proud to partner with Willy Chavarria to bring his designs to life through a collaboration that celebrates the interaction of the tradition and modernity of Mexico."
