This ultra-premium Clase Azul Reposado is instantly recognisable, both for its award-winning tequila and its hand-painted ceramic decanter. Golden in hue with bright reflections, it delivers aromas of agave syrup, vanilla, candied orange peel and toasted oak. Medium-bodied and velvety, flavours of hazelnut, vanilla, clove, cinnamon and subtle agave sweetness create a tequila that has become a global icon of craftsmanship and culture.

Craftsmanship & Story
Clase Azul was founded in 1997 by Arturo Lomeli, with a vision of elevating tequila into art. The brand’s signature lies not only in its smooth, oak-aged spirit but also in its decanters—each hand-sculpted and painted by Mexican artisans, reflecting the rich culture and heritage of Jalisco. Aged for eight months in American whiskey barrels, Clase Azul Reposado combines the patience of traditional tequila-making with bold design, making it one of the world’s most recognisable luxury spirits. Beyond tequila, the brand supports artisan communities, sustainability, and innovative upcycling of its ceramic bottles, which often live on as vases, lamps, or centrepieces.
Special Features
Clase Azul Reposado stands apart through its artistry and luxury. The tequila itself is masterfully aged for eight months in bourbon casks, creating a harmonious balance of agave purity and oak complexity. Equally iconic is its hand-crafted ceramic decanter, painted in cobalt blue and finished with traditional feathered motifs. Each bottle takes nearly two weeks to make, ensuring that every piece is a unique work of art. Together, the exceptional spirit and collectible vessel have made Clase Azul Reposado a true symbol of elegance, heritage and Mexican craftsmanship.
