Tasting notes
Clase Azul Tequila Gold is an incomparable young tequila, a delicate combination of Clase Azul Tequila Plata, a subtle touch of special reposado tequila aged in French oak barrels and an extra añejo tequila matured in American whiskey barrels and finished in barrels.

Key characteristics
About this tequila
Clase Azul Gold is a premium tequila that is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. This tequila is made from 100% blue agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is harvested by hand and then slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. This process gives the tequila its unique flavour profile and smooth finish.
The Clase Azul Gold is aged for a minimum of eight months in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, golden colour and a complex flavour profile. The tequila has notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, which are balanced by the natural sweetness of the agave. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of spice that lingers on the palate.
The history of Clase Azul dates back to 1997, when the brand was founded by Arturo Lomeli. Lomeli was inspired by the traditional Mexican pottery known as Talavera, and he wanted to create a tequila that was as beautiful as it was delicious. The iconic Clase Azul bottle is handcrafted by Mexican artisans, and each one is a work of art in its own right.
Clase Azul Gold is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, to fully appreciate its complex flavour profile. It pairs well with spicy Mexican dishes, such as enchiladas or tacos al pastor. The tequila is also a great choice for sipping after dinner, as it is a perfect digestif.
In conclusion, Clase Azul Gold is a premium tequila that is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Its unique flavour profile and smooth finish make it a favourite among tequila connoisseurs. The history of the brand and the handcrafted bottle add to its appeal, making it a great choice for those who appreciate both beauty and taste.
