A Joven Bottled at Sunset
Clase Azul, founded in Guadalajara in 1997 by Arturo Lomeli, builds its tequilas around Mexican craft and storytelling, in handcrafted decanters made by Mexican artisans. Gold is its dusk bottling: the decanter's glass darkens toward the top over a black ceramic base — a glass-to-ceramic fusion the brand says took about six years to develop — evoking the moment before nightfall. Inside, three tequilas meet: unaged Plata for freshness, a French-oak reposado for structure, and an extra anejo finished in sherry casks for depth — a joven in the true sense, blended rather than simply aged.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Soft amber with golden sparkles. Nose: Agave syrup, green apple, orange peel, fresh fig and raisins, with light almond and walnut. Palate: Toasted wood, fig, green olive, ginger and cocoa. Finish: Dark chocolate warmth from the aged components.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat at room temperature, as the house intends for its blends; the brand's own pairings run to fatty seafood cooked with butter and lemon, olive tapenade with brie, and semi-bitter chocolate with citrus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clase Azul Gold an extra anejo? No. It is a joven — a blend. An extra anejo finished in sherry casks is one of its three components, alongside unaged Plata and a French-oak reposado, so the finished tequila is not a straight extra anejo.
Why does the bottle look like that? The decanter is inspired by a Mexican sunset: shimmering glass darkening into a black ceramic base, finished with two hand-painted 24-karat gold ribbons.
Is it a limited edition? Yes — Gold is sold as a limited-edition expression, first released around 2020 and later reissued; exact edition details vary between releases.
