Producer Notes: Clase Azul Tequila
Clase Azul Tequila is a premium tequila producer based in the town of Santa Maria Canchesdá in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The company was founded in 1997 by Arturo Lomeli and is known for its high-quality tequilas that are made using traditional methods and aged in oak barrels.
Clase Azul Tequila produces a range of tequilas, including Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Ultra. Each of these tequilas is made using 100% blue Weber agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco. The agave is harvested by hand and cooked in traditional brick ovens before being crushed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented using natural yeast before being distilled twice in copper stills.
Once the tequila has been distilled, it is aged in oak barrels for varying lengths of time depending on the type of tequila being produced. The Blanco is unaged, while the Reposado is aged for 8 months, the Añejo for 25 months, and the Ultra for 5 years.
In addition to its tequilas, Clase Azul Tequila also produces a range of other spirits, including Mezcal, Sotol, and Raicilla. Mezcal is a type of agave-based spirit that is similar to tequila but is made using a different type of agave and is typically smokier in flavor. Sotol is a spirit made from the Desert Spoon plant, which is native to northern Mexico. Raicilla is a type of agave-based spirit that is similar to Mezcal but is made using a different type of agave and is typically less smoky in flavor.
Clase Azul Tequila is known for its distinctive handcrafted bottles, which are made by Mexican artisans using traditional techniques. The bottles are decorated with intricate designs and are often used as decorative pieces after the tequila has been consumed.
Overall, Clase Azul Tequila is a premium tequila producer that is known for its high-quality tequilas and distinctive handcrafted bottles. The company also produces a range of other spirits, including Mezcal, Sotol, and Raicilla, which are all made using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
