Clase Azul Gold Tequila
Clase Azul Gold is a luxurious “joven-style” blend crafted to evoke a Mexican sunset: smooth, rich, and layered. It merges unaged Plata, French oak-rested Reposado, and an Extra Añejo aged in American whiskey casks and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels, giving flavors of cooked agave, toasted oak, fig marmalade, and a velvety finish with chocolate, caramel, and subtle dried fruit. The packaging is as much art as bottle — a shimmering glass decanter fused to a ceramic base with 24-karat gold accents, making it both a display piece and a sipping spirit.
Origin & Production Details
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Joven (blend) tequila — combining Plata, reposado, extra añejo aged components. |
| ABV / Proof | Approximately 40% ABV (80 proof) |
| Casks / Aging | Blend includes reposado matured in French oak, extra añejo aged 8 years in American whiskey barrels, then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. |
| NOM / Distillery | NOM 1595, Clase Azul, Jalisco; uses blue Weber agave. |
| Packaging | Decanter features glass fused to ceramic base; ceramic base, hand-painted 24-karat gold ribbons; striking design. |
Tasting Profile
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Golden hue with brilliant highlights; warm amber-gold tones. |
| Nose / Aroma | Cooked agave, agave nectar, toasted wood, orange peel, fresh fig, raisin, almond, walnut. |
| Palate / Taste | Rich cooked agave at forefront; caramel and vanilla; fig marmalade; toasted oak; dark chocolate tones; olive or green olive note in some tasting notes; subtle pepper or spice. |
| Finish | Medium-long, lasting; lingering oak, caramel, and dried fruit; smooth texture. |
What Makes It Special
-
The blend of three tequila styles (Plata, Reposado, Extra Añejo) with finishing in sherry adds layers and complexity.
-
High craftsmanship not just in liquid but also in bottle design — the decanter is a work of art.
-
Clase Azul tends to emphasize smoothness and richness; Gold is targeted at those who want aged flavor (oak, wood, finish) but also aesthetics and prestige.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
-
Serve neat or with a large ice cube to open up the oak and dried fruit layer.
-
Try in cocktails where aged flavor is welcome: perhaps a tequila old fashioned, or a top-shelf Margarita variation that uses Gold instead of reposado/extra añejo.
-
Pair with dessert: dark chocolate, citrus marmalade, fruit compote, or rich desserts; cheese plate (soft cheeses like Brie + nutty elements) also works.
-
Given its presentation, it’s also great for display or gifting.
