This release is built for the shelf as much as the glass. The ivory decanter is hand-decorated with an ofrenda scene by artist Erika Rivera — the offering through which Día de Muertos keeps absent loved ones present — and a 24-karat gold-plated locket at the base holds milagritos and a small obsidian mirror, traditional symbols of remembrance. The edition is limited to 10,000 individually numbered decanters, which is the source of its collectible standing, and it closes a five-year arc that ran through Sabores, Colores, Aromas, and Música. As with the rest of the line, the regulatory mark (NOM) on the base differs between older Productos Finos de Agave bottles and current Casa Tradición bottles, so confirm the NOM on your bottle.

Serve it neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, where the cask aging and pit-oven smoke read as caramel, orange, and toasted wood. A single large ice cube softens it without much dilution at 40% ABV. Given the numbered, decorative bottle, this is one to pour slowly rather than mix.

Crafted under Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco, this edition is a blend of tequilas aged between 12 and 38 months in first-use American whiskey casks, built from 100% Blue Weber agave. Part of the agave is slow-cooked in a traditional pit oven in addition to masonry ovens, which adds the roasted, lightly smoky depth that distinguishes it from the standard añejo; reports of a Scotch-cask finish are not supported by the brand's own description and are not stated here. The distillery's regulatory mark (NOM) is 1595 (current Casa Tradición) or 1416 (older Productos Finos de Agave) depending on production date. The ivory decanter, its ofrenda artwork, and the gold-plated locket are handcrafted.

It is the fifth and final release in Clase Azul's annual “Nuestros Recuerdos” Día de Muertos series — an añejo tequila.

What makes the Recuerdos 2025 decanter and edition special?
