Clase Azul Tequila Reposado 750mL

Clase Azul Tequila Reposado

Reposado | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico | 100% Blue Weber Agave | Aged Eight Months

Process & Profile

Clase Azul Tequila Reposado is the brand’s signature tequila, made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked for 72 hours in traditional clay ovens, and the tequila is double-distilled in copper stills. It is then aged for eight months in American whiskey casks.

That maturation adds a pronounced vanilla and hazelnut character to the tequila’s agave notes. The producer describes aromas of agave syrup, candied orange peel, and oak, followed by a palate with cinnamon and clove. At 40% ABV, this is a reposado to explore slowly in a spirits glass, where the fruit, agave, and cask notes can be appreciated together.

The presentation is part of the appeal. Mexican artisans make and paint each ceramic decanter by hand, finishing it with the cobalt-blue feathered design associated with Clase Azul Reposado. It gives the 750mL bottle a distinctive presence for gifting or display.
