Clase Azul is the hand-painted ceramic decanter everyone recognizes and few stores stock in depth — at Del Mesa Liquor, a family-owned liquor store in San Diego, California, the Clase Azul collection runs from Plata at $139.99 to the five-year-old Ultra at $1,999.99, with the iconic Reposado, the Gold joven blend, the Anejo and a wild-agave mezcal in between. Every bottle below is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor today, inside our wider tequila collection.
The Clase Azul range, compared
- Clase Azul Plata Tequila — $139.99. The unaged blanco: 100% Blue Weber agave from Los Altos de Jalisco, slow-cooked about 72 hours, bottled at 40% ABV in a clear glass decanter — agave in its purest form.
- Clase Azul Reposado Tequila — $169.99. The icon. Slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens for a minimum of 72 hours, then aged 8 months in hand-selected oak barrels, in the hand-painted blue-and-white ceramic decanter.
- Clase Azul Gold Limited Edition Tequila — $289.99. A 40% ABV joven blend of Plata, a French-oak reposado and a sherry-finished extra anejo, in a sunset decanter of glass fused to black ceramic with 24-karat gold ribbons.
- Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal Joven Limited Edition — $399.99. A 42% ABV joven mezcal from wild papalote agave (Agave cupreata) from Guerrero, pit-cooked 3–4 days over volcanic rock, in a jade-green decanter.
- Clase Azul Anejo Tequila — $499.99. The Mazahua Edition: aged 25 months in American whiskey casks at 40% ABV, in a handmade ceramic decanter painted by Mazahua artisans with 24-carat gold brushwork.
- Clase Azul Ultra Tequila — $1,999.99. The flagship extra anejo: five years in American whiskey casks, then Spanish sherry casks, at 40% ABV — platinum decoration, a sterling silver agave medallion and a 24-carat gold label.
What separates them: agave, aging and the decanter
Every Clase Azul tequila starts the same way — 100% Blue Weber agave from Los Altos de Jalisco, slow-cooked in traditional ovens for about 72 hours and fermented with the house's proprietary yeast. What you pay for as you climb is time and blending. Plata skips the barrel entirely. Reposado takes 8 months of oak, which is why it anchors our reposado tequila guide. Gold is a blender's bottle — unaged, French-oak and sherry-finished spirits in one joven. Anejo stretches to 25 months in American whiskey casks, and Ultra goes five full years, finishing in sherry wood. The Guerrero mezcal breaks the pattern completely: a different agave species, wild-harvested and pit-cooked, from our mezcal collection. It is one of the bottles that earned Clase Azul its place in our premium tequila buying guide.

Which Clase Azul should you buy?
Start with Reposado if you want the classic — it is the bottle most people mean by "Clase Azul." Choose Plata for cocktails and pure agave character, Gold for a gift that pours like a celebration, Anejo for a slow whiskey drinker's sipper, Guerrero for the mezcal drinker who thinks they have tried everything, and Ultra for the milestone bottle.

What is the difference between Clase Azul Reposado and Anejo?
Reposado ($169.99) is aged 8 months in hand-selected oak barrels and comes in the classic blue-and-white hand-painted decanter. Anejo ($499.99) is aged 25 months in American whiskey casks, tastes deeper and more oak-driven, and comes in the Mazahua Edition decanter painted by Mazahua artisans with 24-carat gold brushwork.
What makes Clase Azul Ultra worth $1,999.99?
Ultra is Clase Azul's flagship extra anejo, aged five years — first in American whiskey casks, then in Spanish sherry casks (amontillado, oloroso and Pedro Ximenez). The handmade decanter carries platinum decoration, a .925 sterling silver agave medallion and a 24-carat gold label, and production is far smaller than the core range.
