Añejo sits above Reposado in Clase Azul's core range, aged longer for a darker, richer profile aimed at sipping rather than mixing. Clase Azul was founded in 1997 by Arturo Lomelí in Guadalajara, built from the start around hand-painted ceramic decanters and Mexican artisanship rather than conventional tequila branding. The company remains independent and 100% Mexican-owned.

History & Background
Production & Maturation
Production Method
100% blue Weber agave from the Jalisco highlands, cooked, crushed, fermented and double-distilled in copper pot stills, then aged longer than the Reposado before hand-painted bottling.
Aging & Maturation
Aged in oak for longer than the Reposado — well over a year by most published accounts — developing dried fruit, dark chocolate and deeper oak character. Confirm the exact current aging period against Clase Azul's official spec sheet before publishing a precise figure; source data for this specific expression was thinner than for Plata/Reposado.

About These Prices
- Prices are indicative, not quotations. They are compiled from publicly available retail listings and state excise price lists, and are provided for reference only.
- Alcohol pricing in India is set state by state. Excise duty, VAT and retail margins differ in every state and union territory, so the same bottle can vary by 40% or more between Goa and Kerala. Always check the price where you are buying.
- Prices change without notice. State excise policies are typically revised annually, and retailers may price above or below the listed MRP depending on stock and demand. The figures above were last reviewed in August 2026.
- We do not sell alcohol. The Spirit Atlas is an independent reference site. We take no orders, hold no stock, and have no commercial relationship with the distilleries or retailers documented here. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell.
- Tasting notes and ratings are editorial opinion. They reflect the reviewer's assessment and are not endorsed by the producer.
- For readers of legal drinking age. The legal drinking age in India varies by state, from 18 to 25. Please respect your local law and drink responsibly.
