Clase Azul Tequila Anejo

Clase Azul

Mexico is a land of countless, rich, and diverse landscapes. To the west, amidst valleys and mountains, lies a region of vital importance to us: Jalisco. Here, the blue agave has been honored for centuries; a plant whose exquisite distillate bears witness to centuries of Jaliscan culture and traditions. Tequila is one of our most cherished treasures. The generosity of our culture inspires us to share it with the world.

Our Process

Our agaves grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of reddish soil where elevation, minerals, and climatic conditions provide the agave with unique properties.

To obtain tequila, the agave undergoes a long transformation: During the jima, the leaves of the plant are removed to reveal the heart, known as the piña. The piñas are cooked in masonry ovens and then crushed to extract the sugars resulting from the cooking process. Fermentation with our patented yeast infuses the elixir with our distinctive profile, while its notes are shaped through double distillation in copper pot stills. This dedicated effort results in an exquisite tequila.

After distillation, Clase Azul Tequila Plata is born, a bright unaged tequila that faithfully captures the notes of the agave. For our other tequilas, however, the journey is not yet complete. Time is essential in creating tequilas with more complex profiles. To create them, our un-aged tequila must mature in oak barrels and other woods, studying and appreciating its evolution over months and years. From the distinguished Clase Azul Tequila Reposado to the extra-aged Clase Azul Tequila Ultra, we firmly believe that each drop of tequila expresses something unique about the richness and character that only time can impart.

Our Decanter

To make the crafting of our exquisite creations possible, we founded Tradición Mazahua in 2007, a ceramic workshop where Clase Azul artisans dedicate themselves to creating our decanters, tributes to Mexican culture. The decanter’s decoration symbolizes the journey of the agave from its birth to its transformation into tequila, a culmination represented by brushstrokes painted in 24-karat gold.

Clase Azul Tequila Anejo

A tribute to its own making, Clase Azul Tequila Añejo embodies a years long journey from agave to tequila through its sublimely nuanced taste and the symbolic elegance of its decanter. The harmonious character of this añejo tequila is the result of a magnificent journey of more than two years in American whiskey casks.

Clase Azul Tequila Añejo captivates the senses with its deep copper hue enriched by intense golden highlights. On the nose, it offers an intense aroma of oak, beautifully layered with notes of orange marmalade, apple preserves, roasted hazelnut, cardamom, and clove. The palate is equally complex, featuring flavors of candied orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. These rich and warm spices unfold into a long, silky finish that lingers with toasted and spiced notes, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and depth.
