Renowned for its distinctive ceramic decanter adorned with intricate hand-painted details, Clase Azul is not only a tequila but a work of art that encapsulates the spirit of Mexican heritage and tradition.
The Añejo expression represents the culmination of time, patience, and meticulous aging. Distilled from 100% organic Tequilana Weber Blue agave, this tequila undergoes a prolonged aging process, spending a minimum of 25 months in hand-selected oak barrels. This extended maturation allows the spirit to develop a complexity and depth of flavor that distinguishes it as a true Añejo.

The nose is greeted with a symphony of aromas, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, complemented by the subtle sweetness of agave. Each inhale invites anticipation for the sensory journey that awaits.
The palate is an indulgence in refined elegance, as the velvety texture coats the taste buds with layers of flavor. A harmonious blend of toffee, chocolate, and baking spices unfolds, creating a palate that is both sophisticated and inviting. The agave presence remains at the forefront, a nod to the spirit's origin and the craftsmanship behind its production.
The finish of Clase Azul Tequila Añejo is a lingering celebration of the journey taken. Warm and enduring, it leaves a lasting impression of oak, caramel, and a gentle touch of spice. As the final notes fade, one is left with the satisfaction that comes from savoring a tequila that transcends expectation.
Beyond the liquid itself, the iconic decanter of Clase Azul Tequila Añejo adds an extra layer of distinction. Painstakingly handcrafted and hand-painted by skilled artisans, each decanter is a unique masterpiece, reflecting the brand's commitment to artistry and tradition.
