Tequila Ultra Extra Añejo - Clase Azul
 
The name Clase Azul translates to "blue like agave", from which this tequila is made.
Clase Azul Tequila - a bottle of true art. All bottles from the Clase Azul distillery are hand-shaped and individually painted: no two bottles are the same. The Claze Azul Ultra Extra Añejo is bottled in noble black bottles made from three precious metals. They are painted by highly skilled craftsmen - the applied colors are only visible after firing the jug. This exquisite tequila, made from 100% blue agave, is the crown jewel of the Clase Azul brand and makes every collector's heart beat faster. It is matured for 5 years in American whiskey barrels before being finished in Spanish barrels.

The Distillery: Founded just over 25 years ago, Clase Azul has become an icon among the great tequila producers. Although the name recalls the bluish color of the agave and the hand-painted decanters, Clase Azul produces liqueurs that invite you to discover Mexican tradition. The tequilas are made exclusively from organic blue agave grown in the highest terroirs of Jalisco, near the Pacific Ocean. Cultivated for between 6 and 8 years, blue agave enjoys a favorable subtropical climate which gives the spirits a rich palette of aromas. Tequila Ultra Extra Añejo is packaged in a decanter made of precious metals: silver, 24-karat gold and platinum. A true aesthetic treasure, the bottle of this tequila was hand-designed by exceptional craftsmen. Once the agave is distilled, it is aged for 5 years. It is first placed in American whiskey barrels and then in Sherry barrels.
