Clase Azul Tequila Añejo 70 cl. 40%

Clase Azul is a family-owned tequila producer crafting premium tequila in the small village of Santa Maria Canchesda in Los Altos, the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

This exclusive artisan tequila is made from blue agave, which grows in the highlands for nine to twelve years before being hand-harvested. The agave is then baked whole in traditional brick ovens for 72-80 hours. Once baked, the agave is crushed and fermented with natural yeast. After fermentation, the tequila undergoes double distillation in copper stills.

Clase Azul Añejo is aged for 25 months in bourbon barrels previously used for Reposado. Añejo is an amber-colored tequila with a highly complex richness. Its aroma is filled with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla. The taste is elegant, with notes of candied apples and almonds, finishing with caramel.

Collaboration with and respect for the indigenous Mazahua people, along with their ancient traditions in ceramics and painting, have given Clase Azul its distinctive bottles. Each bottle takes 11 days to craft, and since they are shaped and painted entirely by hand, every bottle is unique.

Clase Azul Reposado is aged for 8 months in bourbon barrels. Clase Azul Añejo then uses these barrels for an additional 25 months of aging. Clase Azul Ultra is aged for a full five years in sherry casks, giving it its deep reddish-brown color and silky smooth character.
