Company Description
Don Julio González opened La Primavera distillery in 1969 and began producing Tequila under the brand name of Tres Magueyes. Thirty years later, the name was changed to Don Julio. Today Tequila Don Julio is one of the most prestigious brands in the market, recognized for its quality and considered a signature tequila.
Tequilais produced from fermented agave. The company produces tequila blanco, reposado (aged for 8 months), añejo (aged for 18 months), 1942 (aged at least 30 months), and Real (aged from 3 to 5 years). La Primavera Distillery of Tequila Don Julio is designed to produce 17,000 litres of tequila per day.
The ownership of Tequila Don Julio is shared in equal parts by Grupo Cuervo and Diageo, the largestmultinational beer, wine and spirits company in the world. 70% of the products of the company are exported to different countries around the globe such as the United States, Germany and England.
Environment
The water resulting from the tequila production process (“vinazas”) is extremely high in BOD and COD (60,000 mm per litre or organic matter). Traditional water treatment methods do notreduce these levels. Tequila Don Julio built a rudimentary solid waste and process water treatment system composed of a tank where the processed agave fibres, called “bagazo” are mixed with the “vinazas” and lixiviates (generated at the same tank). 1,500 litres of “vinazas” are poured in the tank daily and mixed with 1,000 litres of lixiviates and 16 metric tonnes of agave fibres or “bagazo”. The“bagazo” has a moisture content of 60 to 70%. Bacteria breaks down the organic matter in a period of three months and the water is used for irrigation in the agave fields.
Tequila Don Julio is interested in a water treatment plant to process 1,500 litres of “vinazas” daily.
The distillery has three 600 to 2,800 HP oil boilers. Tequila Don Julio has no air emission problems.
AdditionalInformation
The President of the company, Mr. Juan Casados is currently President of the Tequila Industry Chamber.
