Clase Azul 25th Anniversary Mexico Edition Reposado Tequila 2022
Clase Azul 25th Anniversary Mexico Edition Reposado Tequila 2022 is a quarter century of Mexican artistry in a single decanter — a 1L reposado tequila at 40 percent ABV (80 proof), aged eight months in two different first-use American whiskey casks by Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco. Created to honor Clase Azul's signature Reposado, this limited 2022 edition is built from 100 percent Blue Weber agave — part of it milled on a traditional stone tahona, with an extended fermentation that lifts citrus and fruit notes.

A Quarter Century in Cobalt Blue
When Clase Azul turned 25, it did what only Clase Azul could: it painted its most personal milestone in the house cobalt blue. The Mexico Edition decanter is the first in the brand's history glazed entirely in that signature blue, its surface scattered with feathered motifs drawn from dandelion seeds drifting on the wind — a figure for how the brand has spread from a small Mexican workshop to collectors on every continent over a quarter century. Twenty-five of the brushstrokes are hand-painted in platinum, one for each year of the house's history, and each decanter is individually numbered out of 9,125. The liquid inside is no afterthought: Viridiana Tinoco reimagined the signature reposado tequila that built the brand, resting the blend in two distinct first-use whiskey casks so each imparts its own depth to the final vatting.
Tasting Notes
It pours a brilliant golden amber. The nose opens with agave honey and ripe banana, layered with woody notes, toasted coconut, soft vanilla, and hints of caramel, semi-bitter chocolate, caramelized apple, and malted grain. The palate carries caramel, vanilla, almond, agave honey, and banana through a medium body, closing with toasted oak, cocoa, a faint earthy-mineral note, and a long cinnamon finish.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat at room temperature in a tulip glass to read the vanilla, caramel, and toasted-oak notes the dual-cask aging brings. A single ice cube keeps it bright without muting the agave. Given the numbered, hand-painted decanter, this is one to pour slowly and savor rather than mix — and it's worth browsing the rest of Clase Azul at Del Mesa Liquor to place it in the collection.
