Introducing Clase Azul Añejo. Since the very beginning, the essence of Clase Azul has been inspired to reveal the beauty and wonder of Mexican traditions. This has been unveiled in each and every artisanal, one-of-a-kind presentation.

In honor of the work of the natives that have produced these stunning pieces… the Mazahuas’ – Tequila Clase Azul introduced, Clase Azul Añejo, “Edición Indígena – Mazahua.” Mazahua is one of the oldest native, indigenous communities which settled in Mexico in pre-Hispanic times. Clase Azul has adopted their unique skills of working with clay as an art form for their distinguished decanters.

Clase Azul Añejo “Edición Indígena – Mazahua” is a one-of-a-kind piece which represents the fruits of two worlds coming together: The unfired clay symbolizes authentic – indigenous Mexican roots meeting up with the European glazing techniques. The result is an extraordinary piece which they proudly introduced to the world when they launched their very first ultra-premium Añejo tequila back in 2016.

Clase Azul Añejo

Clase Azul Añejo “Edición Indígena-Mazahua” is an ultra-premium añejo tequila made from organic, Tequilana Weber Blue Agave in the highlands of Jalisco. Its intense amber color and exquisite aroma are the result of twenty-five months aging in used American, white oak barrels. The nose is layered with aromas of Mexican vanilla, cinnamon, apples and almonds and surrounded by caramel aromas from the slow-cooked agave. The viscous body shows off a delicate, yet balanced mouth-feel that enhances the cooked agave flavors through the finish.

The decanter for Clase Azul Añejo is hand-made and hand-painted in our ceramic facility in a remote village of México called Santa María de Canchesdá. The artisans in this community pay special attention to creating the finest quality ceramic in the regional, Mazahua traditions. For the Añejo offering, the mold represents the iconic Clase Azul design, while the ornamentation represents the evolution of tequila from the earth. This combines history, art and the highest quality tequila in an exemplary expression for Clase Azul.
