Clase Azul Dia Los Muertos 2024 Release 

The Clase Azul The Loft Brooklyn Collection III Añejo Tequila is the third installment in the brand's exclusive limited-release series tied to The Loft, Clase Azul's invitation-only events space in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. Building on the foundation of Collection I (2024) and Collection II, the Collection III decanter is a black ceramic vessel created in collaboration with Brooklyn-based artists, continuing the series' tradition of pairing exceptional Añejo liquid with site-specific artistry that honors New York City's architectural and cultural identity. Each bottle ships in a one-liter format and is produced in highly limited quantities — earlier editions in the series were capped at approximately 1,000 bottles globally.

Inside the decanter, Collection III continues the Clase Azul tradition of premium Añejo production. The liquid is distilled from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jesús María, Jalisco, then aged for a minimum of 20 months in American whiskey barrels — the standard maturation profile that defines the Loft Brooklyn series. Earlier editions added a secondary finishing period in Calvados (French apple-brandy) casks, building layers of caramelized fruit, baking spice, and warm oak on top of the cooked-agave foundation. Every bottle reflects Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco's signature approach to extended-age Añejo production, hand-finished and individually inspected before release.

Expect a layered profile typical of Clase Azul Añejo at this aging depth — cooked agave, vanilla, dried fig, baked apple, toasted oak, and a long, gently spiced finish. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.

2020 Edition

An ultra-rare expression from one of the most revered names in agave releases, this is the Day of the Dead collection from Clase Azul. Each vintage is released in custom, ceremonial bottles that change from year to year, with every release. 

Clase Azul's Day of the Dead Tequilas are a collection of premium tequilas crafted to honor and celebrate the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Each bottle in the Day of the Dead collection is adorned with exquisite artwork, inspired by the vibrant and colorful imagery associated with the holiday. The bottles are custom produced and decorated with intricate details, making them unique works of art that embody the spirit of Día de los Muertos.

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.

The second Nuestros Recuerdos release evokes the colorful decorations of Día de Muertos, containing an añejo tequila aged 22 months in whiskey casks and finished 6 months in artisanal rum casks from Martinique.

Like Mexican culture itself, Día de Muertos is inseparable from color. During the celebration, vibrant hues become a language of memory, joy, and remembrance. Ofrendas glow with cempasúchil blossoms, intricate papel picado, and festive decorations that transform homes and public spaces alike.

For this limited edition, Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco orchestrated a distinctive aging process to create an exceptional añejo tequila. The spirit is matured for 22 months in American whiskey casks, followed by a six-month finish in artisanal rhum agricole casks from Martinique. These casks impart refined tropical and vegetal notes, lending the tequila remarkable depth and complexity.

The white ceramic surface of this decanter features a rough glaze inspired by alfeñique, the traditional sugar paste used in Día de Muertos confections. Its illustration brings together vibrant cempasúchil blossoms and papel picado motifs in a vivid celebration of color and tradition. At the front, a handcrafted silver-plated brass ornament accented with colorful enamels portrays a classic sugar skull sweet.

The Spirit: A Layered Añejo with Depth

This meticulously crafted Añejo tequila is distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave. The liquid is a complex blend of tequilas matured from 12 to 36 months in virgin American whiskey barrels. To achieve its distinctive character, a portion of the agave is uniquely slow-cooked in a traditional earth pit oven, lending profound roasted and smoky notes that call to mind an ancestral Mexican kitchen.  40% ABV and 80 proof. The resulting tequila is a smooth, warm experience, offering inviting flavors of caramelized agave, bright orange zest, subtle clove, and a perfect touch of oak-toasted spice. This is more than a drink; it's a liquid meditation on love and memory.

The Decanter: A Canvas of Remembrance

The ceramic bottle itself is a collector's dream, finished in a serene ivory hue that evokes quiet dignity. Designed by artist Erika Rivera, the illustration at the base beautifully depicts a family’s ofrenda, laden with traditional symbols: bright cempasúchil flowers, sweet pan de muerto, delicate papel picado, celebratory sugar skulls, and flickering candles. Soft, ethereal silhouettes of ancestors are woven into the scene, symbolizing the cherished, yet subtle, presence of the departedduring this special holiday.

The Ornament: A Golden Keepsake of Eternal Love

Adorning the neck of this final bottle is a magnificent 24-karat gold-plated locket, painstakingly handcrafted by the master artisans of Milagros de Latón in Jalisco. This bespoke piece opens to reveal a polished obsidian cameo, a dark mirror representing the clarity of eternal memory. The locket's face is intricately detailed with traditional milagritos (tiny brass miracles) that symbolize blessings, protection, and devotion, framed by sculptural elements of candles and sugar skulls. The creation of each ornament demands over 12 hours and more than 50 precise steps, culminating in a beautifully hand-finished patina.

This is the first limited edition of the Clase Azul Master Artisans collection. 

This creation is the epitome of our artisanal tradition since it combines the experience of our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, with the virtuosity of Ángel Santos, one of the most influential Mexican artisans of our time.

The striking artwork on the handcrafted decanter was inspired by the beauty of long-plumed pheasants. These birds symbolize light, prosperity, the sun, and wealth in various cultures. The blue color used for these illustrations represents the sky, air, and water. 

The decanter also portrays five and six-petalled flowers–symbols that are traditionally used in artisanal clay techniques in Tonalá, a small town in Jalisco renowned as the “cradle of ceramics” in Mexico.

Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, created the longest aged blend in Clase Azul’s history.

This extraordinary 8-year-old extra añejo tequila began its journey in casks previously used for American whiskey, where it was aged for 64 months. For the following 41 months of aging the tequila was distributed into three different types of sherry casks: amontillado, oloroso, and pedro ximénez, resulting in a blend with incomparable complexity.

Swell de Spirits is an independent, family-owned bottler based in Pessac, France. The company was founded in 2021 by Michael Barbaria and Kelly . They release a variety of limited edition bottles of rum, whiskey, Armagnac, and cognac from distilleries around the world.

Los Convidados is a partnership between Michael Barbaria and his friends and associates Bruno Sarabia and Darian Penichet. This Mexican company specializes in Mexican spirits : mezcal, tequila, gin, and rum.

This confidential vintage is born from the collaboration between Swell de Spirits and Los Convidados , produced within the prestigious Cascahuin distillery. Made from 100% Azul agaves aged over 5 years , it follows a meticulous artisanal process: slow cooking in an underground oven for 7 days , traditional Tahona extraction, fermentation in wooden vats with agave fibers, then double distillation in a copper still .

The result: an exceptional Blanco Tequila , bottled at 47% , limited to only 5,000 bottles.

Nose : Gourmet notes of licorice, lemon candy, nougat, fresh herbs and cinnamon brioche.

Palate : Rich and expressive, with aromas of sweet spices, star anise, coconut and white pepper.

Finish : persistent, with the freshness of grass and the sweetness of pastries.

A refined and sophisticated tequila, perfect to enjoy on its own, as a digestif, or to offer an extraordinary taste experience.

May be 700ml or 750ml bottlings

Aromas of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, and earth are invitingly present. Slightly brighter and a touch more rustic than the regular blanco, the accents of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal qualities in the flavor are enhanced because it comes straight from our small copper pot still, without adding water prior to bottling.

For years, the only way to sample this was to visit our distillery in Tequila, Jalisco. Until now.

*Must be 21 to order.

700ml bottling size

Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave aromas practically jump from the glass in this highly-praised and perfectly-aged añejo. This tequila is so rich and complex that some people are even able to detect pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin in the nose.

Once in your mouth, the full cooked agave experience continues with a thick and oily texture that coats your mouth in a very soothing way. Butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts are common flavors that people identify.

Fortaleza Añejo is a prized treat for any tequila lover.
