Clase Azul
Clase Azul is a Mexican luxury tequila and mezcal house founded in 1997 in Guadalajara by Arturo Lomelí, recognized for hand-painted ceramic decanters finished by artisans. This page gathers the full range — the Plata, Reposado, Añejo and Ultra tequilas, three mezcals, the smoked Blanco Ahumado, and the 25th Anniversary edition — with each expression linked to its own page and verified specifications.
- Founded in 1997 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, by Arturo Lomelí; 100% Mexican-owned.
- Known for hand-painted ceramic decanters, each finished by artisans at the brand's Tradición Mazahua workshop in Santa María Canchesda.
- The tequilas are produced from Tequilana Weber Blue Agave.
- A line spanning blanco, reposado, añejo and extra-añejo tequilas, plus mezcal and special editions.
- Distributed in more than 100 countries.
- Specifications such as ABV, bottle size and regulatory mark differ by expression and are verified on each product page.
Each decanter is hand-formed and hand-painted through the brand's own ceramics workshop, so no two vessels are identical. The tequilas are built on Tequilana Weber Blue Agave, with the range moving from unaged blanco through reposado, añejo and extra-añejo expressions. Production specifics differ by expression and are detailed on each product page.
The line is sought as much for its packaging as its contents — artisan ceramic decanters that double as keepsakes, alongside a growing set of special and anniversary editions. Pricing and availability are set per expression.
Collector Note
Clase Azul's standing as a collectible rests on the decanter itself: each is hand-painted ceramic, individually finished, and intended to be kept and reused rather than discarded. The special and anniversary editions extend that, with the 25th Anniversary marking the brand's 1997 founding. Condition and completeness of the ceramic and its packaging carry real weight on the secondary market.

Production Methodology
Clase Azul's tequilas are produced from Tequilana Weber Blue Agave; the mezcals use agaves associated with their respective regions. Once the spirit is made, it is filled into the brand's signature ceramic decanters, hand-formed and hand-painted by artisans at the Tradición Mazahua workshop. Cooking, fermentation, distillation and aging windows vary by expression and are documented — and verified individually — on each product page.
