Clase Azul Reposado Tequila undergoes a masterful aging process. After slow-cooking 100% Blue Weber Agave, the tequila spends eight months maturing in American whiskey casks. This careful aging process allows the tequila to develop a rich amber colour and absorb the distinctive flavours of the oak barrels, creating a depth of character unattainable in younger tequilas.
Clase Azul Reposado Tequila is a culmination of heritage, artistry, and meticulous aging. Presented in a stunning, hand-painted decanter, it embodies the spirit of Mexican craftsmanship. Inside, the reposado tequila, aged for eight months in American whiskey casks, offers a complex flavour profile unlike any silver or blanco 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 agave syrup intertwine with the inviting fragrance of vanilla and the tangy zest of candied orange peel. These enticing notes are complemented by the subtle presence of American oak, adding depth and complexity. Light hints of cinnamon and banana add a touch of intrigue, creating an aroma that is both inviting and sophisticated.
The first sip is smooth and velvety, coating the palate with a luxurious mouthfeel. A symphony of flavours emerges, revealing a harmonious blend of nutty hazelnut and smooth vanilla. These rich notes are complemented by subtle hints of spice from cloves and cinnamon, while a lingering touch of agave syrup adds a touch of sweetness that perfectly balances the overall profile.
The finish is exceptionally smooth and long-lasting, with the flavours of hazelnut, vanilla, and oak lingering on the palate. A touch of spice remains, creating a delightful warmth that invites another sip.
