This month it’s National Tequila Day on the 24th July, yes you heard right, it is a thing! Tequila like many spirit drinks is gaining popularity amongst us as we seek out craft alternatives that have great provenance and are made with love and care. Don Julio is an excellent example and as a company, Don Julio has a pretty interesting history.
Founded in 1942, the first tequila from Don Julio was anything but premium. In fact in the 1940’s tequila was a really
In 1985 Don Julio suffered a severe stroke but in 1987 he returned and his family threw him a huge party. Instead of the traditional tall wine-like tequila bottles, Don Julio’s family wanted tequila bottles that were short enough so people could see each other across the table. Out of this came the short squat bottles which are now very closely associated with this premium tequila.
We love the fact that this tequila is vegan-friendly, no worms here, and we were delighted when our friends at Diageo asked us if we would like to stock it this summer! With so much to celebrate; football, weather, it was a simple yes!
We plumped for the Blanco made with 100% Blue Agave, which has all the right elements. It has a sweet start with savory notes
If that isn’t enough we are giving away a hamper later this month to celebrate National Tequila Day, so look out for the giveaway post on Facebook.
Enjoy!

In January 2020 UK Vegan Charity, The Vegan Society, published measures that corporations could take to make vegan friendly workplaces.
What they weren’t perhaps expecting was a global pandemic that would close offices around the world, and then in January of 2021, Veganuary reaching its highest number of participants since the event began.
Remember our spring blog when we jumped for joy over the lovely big delivery from Baileys HQ of Baileys Almande?
Well, we bring bad news.
Unfortunately, it seems that Baileys Almande has been discontinued as of autumn 2021.
There's currently no way to buy it on the Baileys website, and even online superstores Amazon and Ocado show no option to purchase.
We may rely on gifts more than usual to compensate for the last few years and truly treat ourselves and others. But it doesn't mean we should overindulge, because that's the last thing the environment needs, particularly in the beauty gift sector.
