This is one of the early Day of the Dead decanters, from 2019 — before Clase Azul began the numbered Nuestros Recuerdos series in 2021. It is also one of the smallest runs in the catalogue: just 1,800 bottles, made for collectors. The matte-black ceramic is finished with gold accents and engravings, a gold agave emblem at the center, a skull motif at the shoulder, a spiral that stands for the cycle of life, and a procession of figures at the base depicting the spirit's journey — each piece hand-painted, so no two are exactly alike. The liquid is a joven that blends Clase Azul Plata and Reposado with a touch of the five-year Ultra (aged in reclaimed sherry casks), and that small run plus the early date is the source of its collectible standing. The regulatory mark points to NOM 1416 (the older Productos Finos de Agave facility) or NOM 1595, depending on the bottle production date.

Serve it neat at room temperature in a tulip glass to read the agave, vanilla, and oak the blend carries; a single ice cube keeps it open at 40% ABV. Given the hand-finished decanter and the small run, this is one to pour slowly rather than mix.

The 2019 Day of the Dead edition is a joven — the deliberate marriage of unaged and aged tequila — made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos Highlands. It blends Clase Azul Plata (unaged) and Reposado with a touch of Clase Azul Ultra, the five-year extra añejo aged in reclaimed sherry casks, for a layered profile at 40% ABV (80 proof). The matte-black decanter, the gold engravings, the agave emblem, and the procession motif are finished by hand, so each piece is unique.
