A cobalt and white hand-painted ceramic bottle, shaped by hand in central Mexico, holds eight months of rest in oak. Clase Azul Reposado is a tequila that is first a work of art, and only then a dram.
Expert Description
Clase Azul Reposado Tequila is a 100% Agave Mexican Reposado Tequila with an ABV of 40%. The tequila comes from the Clase Azul brand, founded in 1997 by Arturo Lomelí in Guadalajara with the ambition of turning tequila into a global story of Mexican craftsmanship. Every bottle is a unique, hand-painted ceramic decanter, made by artisans at the Tradición Mazahua workshop, where more than 350 people, most of them women, carry the traditional craft forward.
The reposado is aged eight months in American oak barrels, giving it a round, full character before it is filled into the iconic bottle. A single decanter can take up to two weeks to paint, and no two bottles end up looking exactly the same.
