At Clase Azul Spirits, they are inspired by our mission to initiate and reinforce a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Mexico and its traditions.
From the superior tequila, to the unique & beautifully handcrafted bottles, Clase Azul is 100% authentic in every way. In the small Mexican town of Santa Maria Canchesda, over 100 artisans dedicate their time to creating each bottle one at a time.
Clase Azul tequila is created using only 100% organic Tequilana Weber Blue agaves – the only kind of agave out of 200 varieties that produces tequila. Once harvested, the agaves are cooked in old-fashioned brick ovens for 72 hours.
Once cooked, the pinas are crushed to extract the juices, which are then mixed with a special proprietary yeast. The fermentation process takes place, and finally, the alcohol is distilled twice with careful attention to ensure the highest quality spirit.
Our ultra-premium line of tequila is produced in one of the highest points in Los Altos, or the highlands – in the town of Jesus Maria in the region of Jalisco – which results in a very unique flavor profile.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
