Clase Azul Dia de Muertos Limited Edition Recuerdos 2025
Clase Azul Dia de Muertos Limited Edition Recuerdos 2025 is a 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL anejo tequila — the fifth and final chapter of Clase Azul's "Nuestros Recuerdos" collection — a blend of anejos aged 12 to 38 months in first-use American whiskey casks — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Launched October 14, 2025, Recuerdos ("Memories") closes the five-year Dia de Muertos series that began in 2021 with Sabores, Colores, Aromas, and Musica. Crafted under Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco, it is designed as a liquid tribute to cherished memories — specifically the scents of traditional Mexican kitchens. A portion of the agave is cooked in a traditional pit oven, adding earthy depth and a subtle whisper of smoke; Tinoco calls it "a nostalgic return to my grandmother's kitchen, to the wood-fired stove where she made tortillas." The result is a remarkably complex anejo spanning the full spectrum of oak maturation, from bright 12-month spirit to deep 38-month richness.
The decanter: an ivory-colored ceramic decanter — handcrafted and hand-painted — featuring traditional ofrenda (altar) illustrations by Mexican artist Erika Rivera, adorned with a handcrafted 24-karat gold locket medallion that opens to reveal a piece of reflective obsidian, symbolizing the connection between the present and the past. One retailer lists the worldwide run at just 10,000 bottles, making the series' finale one of the most coveted collectibles in ultra-premium tequila.
Tasting notes (trade-press consensus): deep amber in color; aromas of cooked Blue Weber agave, dark cherry, and orange peel layered with vanilla bean, spiced cinnamon, and toasted almond; a full-bodied, velvety palate of sweet vanilla and butterscotch balanced by dark sugar, chocolate, and nutmeg; an exceptionally long, smooth finish of sweet oak and rich caramel.
Why buy: A series finale only happens once — Recuerdos completes the Nuestros Recuerdos collection, and the bottle is a work of art that happens to hold a superbly aged anejo. Sip it neat from a tulip glass with dark chocolate or pan de muerto. Explore more Clase Azul and browse more ultra-premium tequila at Del Mesa Liquor.
