This is the first limited edition of the Clase Azul Master Artisans collection. This creation is the epitome of our artisanal tradition since it combines the experience of our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, with the virtuosity of Ángel Santos, one of the most influential Mexican artisans of our time.The striking artwork on the handcrafted decanter was inspired by the beauty of long-plumed pheasants. These birds symbolize light, prosperity, the sun, and wealth in various cultures. The blue color used for these illustrations represents the sky, air, and water. The decanter also portrays five and six-petalled flowers–symbols that are traditionally used in artisanal clay techniques in Tonalá, a small town in Jalisco renowned as the “cradle of ceramics” in Mexico.Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, created the longest aged blend in Clase Azul’s history.This extraordinary 8-year-old extra añejo tequila began its journey in casks previously used for American whiskey, where it was aged for 64 months. For the following 41 months of aging the tequila was distributed into three different types of sherry casks: amontillado, oloroso, and pedro ximénez, resulting in a blend with incomparable complexity.Tasting Notes:Color: Copper with light greenish highlights.Body: Full body. Aroma: Sweet plum, fresh grapes, orange, red berries, sweet pear, and toasted oak.Taste: Orange peel, berries, and notes of toasted wood.After Taste: Long, toasted oak and tobacco.Ángel Santos is the creator of this magnificent artwork. He has been awarded internationally for his high craftsmanship, which represents a deep connection and admiration for his country’s ancestral techniques.Beyond his role as creator, Mr. Santos is a cultural promoter of Folk Art and helps keep Mexican ancestral legacy alive as a teacher to future generations of artisans.

I finally was able to pick one up for myself. It had been so hard to find these lately. This is a wonderful sipping tequila. Perfectly balanced and sweet. Highly recommended.

Best Reposado tequila I’ve ever had. Add a little orange if it’s to much straight up. Great service!

I’ve travelled Mexico extensively over the past 22 years. I’ve travelled to the city of Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico. I’ve done all the tequila tours and seen all the main sights, so I can tell you that tequila is an essential part of experiencing Mexico. Usually, when it comes to tequila, I’m an añejo guy. I like herradura and milagro. But if you haven’t ever tried Clase Azul Reposado, you haven’t truly lived. This is the one tequila that I could sip on all night long and the next day still feel like a million bucks. Long story short…worth every penny.

Amazing on the palate! Has a honey like finish, which I love. I know it has additives, but it’s still the best tasting Tequila I’ve had. I’m not spending this much on a bottle again, but great stuff!

It was smooth and slight sweetness that we both enjoyed. Will definitely have to get a bottle in future.

Good but you’re paying for the bottle too. For about rhe same price Don Julio 1942 is superior
