Process & Profile

The Clase Azul Reposado & Don Julio 1942 Tequila Bundle includes:

• (1) Clase Azul Tequila Reposado 750mL

• (1) Don Julio 1942 Tequila Añejo 750mL

This two-bottle pairing brings together distinct styles of aged tequila. Clase Azul Reposado matures for eight months in American whiskey casks, developing vanilla, hazelnut, and baking-spice notes. Don Julio 1942 is an añejo produced in small batches and aged for 24 months or more in American white oak casks previously used for bourbon. Its profile features caramel and chocolate aromas, roasted agave, oak, and a lingering vanilla finish.

Both expressions are made from 100% Blue Weber agave and bottled at 80 proof. The pairing offers a way to compare Clase Azul’s medium-bodied, spice-accented reposado with Don Julio’s longer-aged añejo. Clase Azul’s hand-decorated ceramic decanter, featuring cobalt-blue feathered brushstrokes, also gives the bundle a distinctive presentation for gifting or displaying in a home bar.
