Ideal for collectors, Clase Azul Gold is an exclusive, limited edition collection of unique art and tequila. This bottle masterfully features a combination of glass and ceramic, something Clase Azul has been working on for years.
With only 6000 pieces produced, “The Gold Collection” boasts a stunning hand-crafted and hand-painted base, a true depiction of Mexico’s culturally exquisite artistry!
The different colors of the bottle symbolize the mix of tequila inside- a rare blend of Clase Azul Plata – with clear and crisp notes – and a very special expression of Clase Azul Ultra Anejo aged for 8 years! This particular edition of Ultra Anejo offers rich, dark, and complex notes as a result of the mixed aging process – a combination of reclaimed bourbon barrels and reclaimed Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This blend of tequilas and aging creates a surprisingly smooth taste that satisfies even the most discerning palate.
ABOUT CLASE AZUL
Clase Azul is produced at the Productos Finos de Agave at Nom 1416, situated in the Jesus Maria region of Arandas in Los Altos Highlands region of Mexico. Clase Azul is a premium 100% authentic from the tequila crafted in a small town named Santa Maria Canchesdá. Over one hundred Mexican artisans go to work meticulously handcrafting each bottle.
Clase Azul tequilas are made from 100% from organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agaves. Chosen from approximately 200 breeds of agave, this particular species is the only one that produces tequila. Once the agave is harvested, Clase Azul cooks them in old-fashioned brick ovens, a process which takes 72 hours.
The cooked piñas are then crushed, after which a special brand of yeast is added. This liquid is allowed to ferment before the resultant spirit is meticulously twice-distilled with careful attention ensuring the highest quality spirit. This ultra-premium line of tequilas comes from the region of Jalisco, which imparts a unique flavor profile to the tequila. This bright reposado is silky smooth with a rich body and woody, fruity aromas and nuanced flavors of cooked agave, wood, vanilla, and caramel.
Clase Azul loosely translates as “blue class,” and if you’ve ever sipped their fine tequilas, you’ll know that this is an apt moniker. The company is based in picturesque Santa Maria Canchesda and uses only the finest organically-grown blue agave. After harvesting, the agave is cooked in old-school brick ovens for three entire days before it’s double-distilled to perfection.
One of the best things about Clase Azul is that your experience never ends. Once you’ve finished every last delightful drop, the bottle itself can (and should) be kept forever. Each gorgeous bottle is made by hand and absolutely unique. Clase Azul employs about 100 artists whose sole job is to create these amazing bottles. Smoky and complex mezcal, crystal-clear plata and celebration-worthy.Clase Azul can all grace you with the tequila adventure of a lifetime.

Love this tequila. This is my favorite tequila to sip on a big cube. If you haven’t tried this, I definitely recommend it. Very sweet tequila. If you’re not into additives in a tequila then this is not for you. Can’t go wrong buying this.

This tequila ruined me. One of the first sipping tequilas I tried. Nothing else has come close. I drink it chilled. I don’t have a very refined palette, so to me it almost tastes more like cream soda than tequila. 100% would recommend, will buy again when I feel like splurging a bit.

Best price in town. Clase azul is great for shots and margaritas. Feels very strong. Expensive but worth it if you have the money for it.

Boyfriend was having a bad day so I bought him this. I had always wanted to try it & was not disappointed. I’m not a huge tequila fan (except shots lol) but I read online to drink it neat. It was actually really good & lives up to the hype for sure
