Simon Lapyem, Innovations Manager at UBL, shared plans for the Don Julio 1942 campaign, ‘Don Julio 09:42 Moment’. This initiative encourages partygoers at every sponsored event to raise their glasses and make a symbolic toast at 9:42 pm, marking the fusion of luxury, good vibes, and unforgettable memories.

The campaign made its debut at Baoli, marking the launch of the world’s most premium tequila in style.

“With Baoli, we’re creating a space for Kampala’s luxury lovers to savour the finer things in life. We’ll make a special toast at 09:42 at every party we’re part of, as a reminder to pause, appreciate, and celebrate with Don Julio 1942,” Lapyem said.

The event also saw DJ Kasbaby and Spinny take to the stage, delivering high-energy sets that kept the crowd entertained until the early hours.
