We aren't alone in our love for expensive tequila. 29 other states, including Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, California, and Idaho, share Colorado's affinity for the product.

Why do Coloradans favor Don Julio?

It's hard to say for sure, but BetArizona.com reports that Don Julio González-Frausto Estrada, a distinguished distiller, founded the company in 1942, which is also the name of its famous brand. That sounds pretty good to us.

Don Julio isn't the only popular tequila in the country, though. Residents in New York, Tennessee, Maine, Michigan, and Louisiana enjoy George Clooney's brand Casamigos.
