Clase Azul Añejo Tequila undergoes a 25-month transformation process. The blue agave hearts are slow-cooked in masonry ovens, extracting their natural sugars. After fermentation, the tequila is double-distilled in copper stills before spending a significant amount of time maturing in American whiskey casks. This aging process imbues the tequila with a rich amber colour and a depth of flavour unattainable in younger tequilas.
This tequila is a culmination of heritage, artistry, and meticulous craftsmanship. Presented in a stunning decanter adorned with symbolism, it tells the story of the Mazahua culture and its deep connection to the land. Inside, the tequila itself, aged for 25 months in American whiskey casks, offers a complex flavour profile unlike any other silver tequila.

Clase Azul is a Mexican tequila brand that has been sharing the magic of Mexican culture with the world for the past 25 years. The brand was born from a dream to showcase the beauty of Mexican traditions and land. Its iconic decanter was the starting point of this dream, a unique creation made by Mexican artisans. The name Clase Azul, means blue class, inspired by the blue agave used to make their spirits and the paint on their first Reposado decanter. Despite facing challenges such as natural disasters and financial crises, Clase Azul has stayed true to its ideals and overcome adversity. In 2007, the brand founded Tradición Mazahua, a ceramic workshop where Clase Azul artisans dedicate themselves to creating the brand's decanters as a tribute to Mexican culture. Today their iconic decanters and message is shared in over 55 countries. The brand has transformed into Clase Azul México, but it still preserves the spirit that drives it to showcase the beauty of Mexican culture to the world. Clase Azul México aims to transcend and represent Mexican culture around the world with its exquisite creations and spaces that reveal the heart of Mexico.
The agaves used for Clase Azul tequilas grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of red-coloured earth that creates unique properties in the plant. To create their exquisite tequilas, Clase Azul follows a long transformation process that involves slow-cooking the agave piñas in masonry ovens, milling them to extract the sugars, fermenting them with patented yeast, and double-distilling them in copper stills. Clase Azul Tequila Plata is the unaged tequila that captures the notes of the agave, but the journey isn't over yet. The tequila is matured in casks made from oak or other types of wood, allowing it to develop a more complex profile. For more terroir driven tastes, Clase Azul also honours the tradition of mezcal, which can be made from a wide range of agave species and reflects the soil and conditions that have nourished the agave.
The artisanship found in Clase Azul's decanters is a reflection of Mexico's cultural diversity. Each decanter is a creative process that demands artistic drive, technical ability and knowledge passed down for generations. The tequila decanters tell stories through their decoration, while the mezcal decanters display caps decorated with precious artisanal techniques.
All Tequila's are made from 100% Blue Agave, produced at one of the highest points in the state of Jalisco. Its climate and land properties offer a characteristic tequila flavour. Each of the agaves is grown for 6 to 8 years before harvest. Organic agave requires approximately 72 hours of cooking in old masonry ovens. The baking gives the agave core a unique sweetness – easily perceived by the complexity of aroma and flavours.
The first impression is a captivating aroma that unfolds in layers. Sweet notes of toffee and Mexican vanilla mingle with hints of cinnamon and clove. Roasted hazelnut adds a touch of nuttiness, while accents of orange marmalade and quince add a touch of citrus intrigue. Finally, subtle whispers of toasted oak complete this complex and inviting bouquet.
The first sip is silky smooth, caressing the palate with its luxurious texture. A symphony of flavours emerges, revealing warm notes of nutmeg and clove interwoven with hints of orange marmalade. The toasted oak from the aging process comes through prominently, adding depth and complexity to the overall experience.
The finish is long and lingering, with the toasted oak notes taking centre stage. Hints of sweetness and spice linger on the palate, inviting another sip.
