How Clase Azul is created

Mexico is a land of countless, rich, and diverse landscapes. To the west, amidst valleys and mountains, lies a region of vital importance to us: Jalisco. Here, the blue agave has been honored for centuries; a plant whose exquisite distillate bears witness to centuries of Jaliscan culture and traditions.

Tequila is one of our most cherished treasures. The generosity of our culture inspires us to share it with the world.

Our agaves grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of reddish soil where elevation, minerals, and climatic conditions provide the agave with unique properties.

To obtain tequila, the agave undergoes a long transformation:

During the jima, the leaves of the plant are removed to reveal the heart, known as the piña. The piñas are cooked in masonry ovens and then crushed to extract the sugars resulting from the cooking process.

Fermentation with our patented yeast infuses the elixir with our distinctive profile, while its notes are shaped through double distillation in copper pot stills. This dedicated effort results in an exquisite tequila.

After distillation, Clase Azul Tequila Plata is born, a bright unaged tequila that faithfully captures the notes of the agave. For our other tequilas, however, the journey is not yet complete.

Time is essential in creating tequilas with more complex profiles. To create them, our unaged tequila must mature in oak barrels and other woods, studying and appreciating its evolution over months and years.

From the distinguished Clase Azul Tequila Reposado to the extra-aged Clase Azul Tequila Ultra, we firmly believe that each drop of tequila expresses something unique about the richness and character that only time can impart.

Nine regions across the vast Mexican territory zealously guard a rich and ancestral tradition: the production of mezcal.

Unlike tequila, distilled exclusively from blue agave, the various types of mezcal come from several species of agave, each reflecting the qualities of the soil and conditions that nourish and witness its growth.

Our mezcals, crafted artisanally in the states of Durango and Guerrero, capture the natural and cultural essence of these regions and transport you to them to reveal their best-kept secrets.

The craftsmanship of our decanters is the expression of the human touch that distinguishes all our creations.

Our artisans transform the diverse cultural expressions of our country into objects of great significance, a creative process that demands artistic drive, great technical skill, and mastery of generational knowledge.

Each of our decanters speaks of our Exquisite Mexico.

The decanters of our tequilas tell their stories through decoration. Our artisans apply paint with great skill on the surface of the ceramic to create the beautiful brushed patterns that characterize our icons.

The decanters of our mezcals, on the other hand, boast stoppers decorated with precious artisanal techniques with a long tradition in our country.
