Clase Azul Ultra Tequila is a 750mL extra anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), the flagship of the Clase Azul house, made from 100% Tequilana Weber blue agave from Los Altos, Jalisco, and aged for five years — first in American whiskey casks, then in Spanish sherry casks.

The Crown Jewel: Five Years, Two Cask Families, Three Precious Metals
Ultra is the expression Clase Azul built its reputation on at the very top of tequila. The five-year maturation moves the spirit from American whiskey casks into a finish split across amontillado, oloroso, and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks before the parts are recombined — the brand describes the full journey from agave field to bottle as nearly fourteen years. The decanter is made and painted by hand by artisans in Santa Maria Canchesda, its feathered motif rendered largely from memory — the platinum only reveals itself after firing — and finished with sterling silver and 24-carat gold. Each one is unique. See the house on the Clase Azul vendor page, or browse our tequila collection.

How to Enjoy
This is a neat-pour tequila — a small glass, no ice, and time. The brand suggests aged goat cheese, black cherries or fig, and dark chocolate alongside. More ultra-premium agave is in our tequila collection.
