This creation symbolizes our journey: how far we’ve come these past 25 years as well as the brilliant future that awaits us. It is also a way for us to thank all the people who have been part of this journey: the talented artisans, all those who are part of the Clase Azul family, and, of course, everyone who has brought a small piece of our Exquisite Mexico into their homes.
To celebrate our legacy, we’ve created our first decanter completely painted in our distinctive cobalt blue color. Inspired by dandelion seeds being carried by the wind, its feathered motifs embody Clase Azul México's expansion across the world. Twenty-five of the brushstrokes that grace the surface of the decanter have been hand painted in platinum; one for each year of our history.
The tequila created for this edition pays homage to our signature Clase Azul Tequila Reposado. Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, reimagined its creation to give it a special touch.
Part of the agave used to make this blend was milled using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, a practice that dates back to the origins of tequila. In addition, the fermentation process was extended to accentuate the liquid’s citrus and fruity notes.
This blend was aged for eight months in two different first-use American whiskey casks, each one imparting its own distinct and rich tasting notes.

From the producer:
With Cazcanes, you won’t find a large scale distillery producing tequila for multiple brands. What you will find is a boutique-style distillery that operates in harmony with the land, environment, and the natural spring that preserves it. Cazcanes takes a distinctive approach to produce hand-crafted tequila from start to finish.
Cazcanes sources natural artesian water for our tequila. The water starts off as rain high up in the pristine peaks of the San Pedro De Los Landeros Mountains. It slowly travels through natural minerals deep within the volcanic mountains before emerging at the Navichi springs.
We hand select each individual 100% Weber Blue agave for harvest during peak sugar levels to deliver a distinct Cazcanes taste. The “piñas” are then cooked and put through our roller mill to extract and concentrate their flavors.
Next comes fermentation using, natural wild yeast, followed by distillation in our alembic stills.Our attention to detail continues through every step of our small batch process until our tequila finds its final resting place in a hand-blown glass bottle.
Cazcanes Tequila No.7 Reposado is the first Reposado offering from Mr. Collin Edwards, the award-winning Master Distiller of Cazcanes Tequila. It also was awarded a Bronze Medal from the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal from the 2020 Sip Awards.
The rancho, just 28 kilometers from Tequila Ocho’s new home place, Tequilera Los Alambiques, located in the highlands and characterized by rich red soil, high elevation, and plateau-like positioning; conditions which have produced the purest, ripest agave with a 33% average sugar content for the piñas. The result is an exceptional tequila with a signature hint of residual sweetness on the palate.
What are the “Puntas” of agave spirits and why does it matter?
The puntas, or “distiller’s cut,” of agave spirits are cut from the very end of the heads and the very beginning of the heart of distillation. They have long been considered the most coveted part of the distillate and are traditionally set aside by the distiller to be enjoyed with friends and family on special occasions. Other high-proof tequilas on the market only use the “heart” cut of distillation, rather than the highly selective cut known as Puntas.
A Ballad of Fire
Our most recent icon: an innovative expression of tequila that captures the transformative force that fire exerts upon agave.
The delicately smoky profile of this unaged spirit stems from the revival of ancestral tequila-making techniques.
The agave for this tequila is cooked slowly in a pit oven lined with firewood and volcanic stone, imparting subtle notes of smoke.
A special release from Tequila Ocho in collaboration with Heaven Hill, makers of Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. "Old Fitz" is a highly sought after, limited release Bourbon that is prized for the sweeter and softer flavor profile provided by the inclusion of wheat in the mashbill.
This Añejo is aged for 1 year and 1 day in barrels that had previously held the 10 year, 2023 release of Old Fitz.
Tequila Ocho produces Single Estate bottlings where all of the agaves for each batch they produce are harvested from the same field or rancho. The idea is show how the terroir of individual sites is expressed in each batch that is produced. They are focused on the expressiveness of the agaves so their aged bottlings are kept in barrel for the absolute minimum amount of time allowed by law for each category. Their releases are vintage dated and list the name of the site where the agaves came from. Although there is flavor variation from batch to batch (as is the point), they are always well made and highly representative of the Highlands of Jalisco where all of their sites are located.
Don Julio Anejo Tequila is a testament to the craft of making a superior tasting, aged tequila. Rich, distinctive and wonderfully complex, its flavor strikes the perfect balance between agave and hints of butterscotch and honey.
