The story

The story behind Clase Azul

Clase Azul began in 1997, when founder Arturo Lomelí started bottling tequila in Guadalajara. The agave comes from Los Altos de Jalisco, the highlands, where red volcanic soil and altitude push Blue Weber plants to full maturity over six to nine years. Piñas are slow cooked in masonry brick ovens for 72 hours, fermented on a proprietary yeast, then double distilled in copper pot stills.

The decanters are the other half of the story. Each ceramic bottle is molded, fired and hand painted by artisans at the Tradición Mazahua workshop in Santa María Canchesda, a process that takes weeks. We have carried Clase Azul on this shelf for years, and customers still tap the bell on the Reposado cap to hear it ring.

Serve Clase Azul neat or slightly chilled in a nosing glass. The Plata wants seafood; the Reposado wants cream and roasted pork.
Good to know

Clase Azul questions, answered

Why is Clase Azul so expensive?
The hand crafted ceramic decanters drive much of the cost, since each one is molded, fired and painted by artisans over weeks. Slow brick oven cooking, small production volumes and luxury positioning add the rest.
Does the bell on the Clase Azul bottle actually ring?
Yes. The metallic top on the Reposado and other expressions works as a small decorative bell and gives a distinct chime when tapped. It is a real feature, not a cap shaped like one.
Is Clase Azul additive-free?
No, it is not certified additive free. The agave is organic Blue Weber, but the profile shows sweet vanilla and caramel notes, and independent watchdogs like Tequila Matchmaker do not confirm it as additive free.
Can you reuse Clase Azul bottles?
Yes. The ceramic decanters are designed to be upcycled after the tequila is gone. People turn them into vases, lamps, candle holders and water carafes.
What is the difference between Clase Azul Reposado and Plata?
Plata is unaged and bottled right after distillation, so it stays clear and crisp. Reposado rests 8 months in American whiskey barrels, picking up a golden hue and smoother vanilla and caramel notes.
