Process and Prestige
Clase Azul Reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave cultivated in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This region is known for its red-colored earth and the agave plants are grown for 7-10 years before being picked.
Harvested through a process called jima, where the agave leaves are removed to expose the core of the plant (the piña). These piñas are slow-cooked in masonry ovens, which helps soften the agave and release the sugars necessary for fermentation.
The tequila is then fermented using a patented yeast strain that gives Clase Azul its distinctive flavour profile.
After fermentation, double distillation is enhanced using copper stills to further refine the flavour and texture.
Bottling and Packaging
The iconic white and blue ceramic decanter is a work of art. Each individually handcrafted by artisans from the Mazahua community, using age-old techniques passed down through many generations.
The cobalt blue feathered design and bell-shaped metal top are inspired by Mexican culture. The bottle also features space for engraving, adding a personal touch to this already extraordinary tequila.
Each comes in a protective display box, drawing attention with its tall structure. The matte white and blue colours of the box enhance the glossy 700ml bottle sitting inside, ensuring that it will be noticed.
Store Clase Azul Reposado in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The gloss white ceramic decanter helps protect the tequila from temperature fluctuations by reflecting sunlight away from the contents.
Awards and Recognition
Established in 1997, the Clase Azul distillery has earned distinguished recognition within the premium spirits category, with their reposado expression standing as a benchmark of excellence among tequila connoisseurs and industry authorities alike.
