The Clase Azul Bottle Collection: Collectible Art You Can Display
The Clase Azul bottle collection is instantly recognisable. These ceramic decanters are not merely containers—they are genuine works of art that collectors treasure long after the tequila is finished.
How Each Bottle Is Made
Every decanter is handcrafted in Santa María Canchesda, a small town in Mexico. Local artisans use traditional techniques passed down through the Mazahua community. The process takes a minimum of two weeks per bottle.
The creation process includes:
- Hand-shaping the ceramic form
- Firing the clay at high temperatures
- Hand-painting intricate designs with fine brushes
- Applying the signature cobalt blue feathered strokes
- Adding decorative medallions and details
Over 80% of the artisans are women, many from underserved backgrounds. Clase Azul provides them with meals, childcare, school tuition, and transport. When you buy Clase Azul online, you support this community directly.
The Iconic Bell-Shaped Cap
The distinctive bell top was actually an accident. Designers were experimenting with sustainable materials when they created the shape. It resonated so well that it became the brand's signature feature.
Beyond the Last Sip
The decanters are designed for reuse. Collectors transform them into vases, candle holders, lamps, and display pieces. This sustainability angle adds lasting value to every purchase and makes the Clase Azul bottle collection a worthwhile investment for interior enthusiasts.

Clase Azul Plata (Blanco)
The Plata is the purest expression of Clase Azul Tequila. Bottled immediately after distillation, it captures the true essence of Blue Weber agave without barrel influence.
Tasting notes: Fresh agave sweetness, bright citrus undertones, light herbal finish, and a clean mouthfeel. This expression works beautifully in premium cocktails and elevates a classic margarita into something extraordinary.
Clase Azul Reposado
The Reposado is the flagship expression and the most popular choice for those who buy Clase Azul online. Aged for eight months in American oak barrels previously used for whiskey, it develops remarkable depth.
Tasting notes: Vanilla and hazelnut, caramel and toffee, cooked agave sweetness, and a smooth lingering finish. The iconic blue and white ceramic decanter houses this expression, making it perfect for premium tequila gift-giving in Singapore.
Clase Azul Añejo
The Añejo spends 25 months maturing in oak. This extended ageing creates a bolder, more complex spirit suited to contemplative sipping.
Tasting notes: Rich dark chocolate, dried fruits and sherry, warm spice notes, and deep amber colour. For collectors building a Clase Azul bottle collection, the Añejo decanter features a distinctive black ceramic base.
Clase Azul Ultra (Extra Añejo)
The Ultra is the crown jewel. Aged for over three years, it represents the absolute pinnacle of the brand's craftsmanship.
What makes it extraordinary:
- Limited production batches of 100 bottles
- Decanter adorned with platinum, sterling silver, and 24-carat gold
- Complex flavour profile developed over years
- Highly sought after by collectors worldwide
How to Enjoy Clase Azul Tequila Like a Connoisseur
Drinking premium tequila differs from taking shots at a bar. Clase Azul Tequila deserves a more thoughtful approach to fully appreciate its complexity.
Step-by-Step Sipping Guide
- Pour a small measure (30–45ml) into your glass
- Observe the colour by holding the glass up to light
- Swirl gently to release aromas
- Inhale slowly through your nose to detect vanilla, agave, and oak notes
- Take a small sip and let it coat your palate
- Note the finish as flavours evolve after swallowing
Serving Recommendations
Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Avoid ice in the glass, as extreme cold masks delicate flavour compounds. Use a stemmed glass such as a Champagne flute, snifter, or traditional copita to concentrate the aromatics.
Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal Pairings

What Makes Premium Tequila Worth the Investment
Some may question the price of Clase Azul Tequila. Understanding what separates ultra-premium spirits from mass-market alternatives clarifies the value.
100% Agave vs. Mixto
By law, tequila must contain at least 51% agave. Cheaper brands fill the remaining 49% with other sugars. Premium tequila in Singapore from brands like Clase Azul uses 100% Blue Weber agave—no fillers, no shortcuts.
Time Investment
Clase Azul agaves mature for 7 to 9 years before harvest. The cooking process takes 72+ hours. Ageing adds months or years. Compare this to industrial producers who rush through each stage.
Artisan Production
Mass-market tequilas use diffusers and industrial methods. Clase Azul maintains traditional brick ovens, copper pot stills, and hand-selected barrels. The difference shows in every sip.
The Bottle Itself
Each handcrafted decanter represents two weeks of artisan labour. The materials, craftsmanship, and cultural significance add tangible value. Your Clase Azul bottle collection becomes functional art you can proudly display.
Community Impact
Clase Azul established Fundación con Causa Azul, a non-profit preserving Mexican folk art. The brand employs hundreds of artisans and supports their families. Purchasing Clase Azul contributes directly to this mission.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is Clase Azul Tequila so expensive?
The price reflects several factors that set Clase Azul Tequila apart from mass-market brands. The spirit uses 100% Blue Weber agave that matures for 7 to 9 years before harvest, followed by traditional slow-cooking in brick ovens for over 72 hours. Each ceramic decanter takes a minimum of two weeks to handcraft by skilled Mexican artisans in Santa María Canchesda using traditional Mazahua techniques. The brand produces limited batches to maintain quality control, with some expressions limited to just 100 bottles. Additionally, over 80% of the artisans are women from underserved communities whom Clase Azul supports with fair wages, meals, and education. When you purchase a bottle, you invest in authentic craftsmanship, cultural preservation, and a spirit that took years to create.
2. Is Clase Azul Tequila made with 100% agave?
Yes, all Clase Azul Tequila expressions use 100% organic Blue Weber agave sourced from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Unlike cheaper mixto tequilas that legally contain only 51% agave with the rest filled by other sugars, Clase Azul never uses fillers or shortcuts. The agaves grow in mineral-rich red soil at elevations exceeding 2,000 metres, which produces plants with higher sugar content and more refined flavours. Each agave matures for 7 to 9 years before jimadors hand-harvest the piñas at peak ripeness. This commitment to pure agave ensures a smoother, more authentic tequila experience without the harsh burn associated with lower-quality spirits. The 100% agave designation also means the spirit is naturally gluten-free.
3. What does Clase Azul Tequila taste like?
The flavour profile varies significantly across expressions, offering something for every palate. The Plata (Blanco) is unaged and delivers crisp, bright notes of fresh agave, citrus, lemongrass, and subtle herbal undertones with a clean finish. The Reposado, aged eight months in American oak, develops rich vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, and toffee notes balanced by cooked agave sweetness. The Añejo matures for 25 months, resulting in deeper complexity with dark chocolate, dried fruits, sherry, and warm spice characteristics. The Ultra, aged over three years, offers the most layered experience with toasted wood, cocoa, and subtle ginger notes. Across all expressions, Clase Azul Tequila is known for exceptional smoothness without the typical tequila burn.
4. Is Clase Azul a sipping tequila?
Absolutely. Clase Azul Tequila is specifically designed for sipping, not shooting. The artisan quality, complex flavour profile, and ultra-smooth character deserve to be savoured slowly rather than consumed quickly. Experts recommend serving it neat at room temperature in a stemmed glass such as a snifter, Champagne flute, or traditional copita to fully appreciate the aromas. The extended production process and careful ageing create nuanced flavours that reveal themselves gradually across your palate. While the Plata can work in premium cocktails, the Reposado, Añejo, and Ultra expressions are best enjoyed on their own to experience their full depth and craftsmanship.
5. How should I store Clase Azul Tequila?
Store your bottle upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Unlike wine, tequila should never be stored on its side, as prolonged contact with the cork can affect the spirit's quality. Maintain a stable temperature and avoid placing the bottle near windows, ovens, or areas with frequent temperature fluctuations. Once opened, Clase Azul Tequila maintains its quality for 1 to 2 years if properly sealed and stored correctly. The ceramic decanter provides excellent protection from light, but keeping it in a cabinet or bar shelf away from direct exposure ensures optimal preservation. If you notice any changes in colour, aroma, or taste after extended storage, the spirit may have oxidised and lost some of its original character.
