Empty bottle. Older edition of Don Julio 1942 Añejo Tequila, specifically the "Blue Label" version housed in its original cardboard coffin-style gift box.
Key Characteristics
The Bottle: Unlike the modern dark amber bottles, this vintage release features a clear-to-light-amber bottle with a prominent blue label. It is a 750ml bottle made from 100% Blue Weber agave.
The Box: This specific packaging is often referred to by collectors as a "coffin box". While the very first releases came in wooden boxes, this version is the subsequent Mexican release using a blue cardboard box with a white agave leaf-shaped insert containing text about the tequila's heritage.
Authenticity Note: Some versions of this bottle were released at 38% ABV for the Mexican market, while the U.S. export version is typically 40% ABV.
Value and Collectibility
This edition is highly sought after by collectors because it is discontinued and considered rare.
Full Bottles: Depending on the specific production run and market, full bottles in this original packaging have been listed for significant sums, sometimes exceeding $1,900.
