History & Background

Clase Azul México was founded in 1997 in Guadalajara by Arturo Lomelí, after an earlier tequila venture of his had failed. Rather than compete on the traditional "macho" tequila branding of the time, Lomelí built the brand around Mexican craftsmanship — most visibly the hand-painted ceramic decanters, made by artisan teams in Jalisco, that have become Clase Azul's signature. The company remains independent and 100% Mexican-owned; it has never been acquired by a larger spirits conglomerate, unlike several other premium tequila houses. Plata is the unaged expression and the brand's entry point.

Production & Maturation

Production Method
100% blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco highlands, traditionally cooked and crushed, fermented, then double-distilled in copper pot stills. Each ceramic decanter is hand-painted by Jalisco artisans, taking roughly two weeks to complete per bottle.
Aging & Maturation
Unaged (blanco-style) — bottled shortly after distillation to preserve fresh agave character.

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.
