Clase Azul Ultra is a crowning jewel in the Clase Azul portfolioan ultra-premium, limited edition, richly aged tequila. It pushes the boundaries of what tequila can become via extended barrel aging and finishing techniques, while wrapped in a striking decanter thats as much art as it is spirit. This is less about mixing; its about slow sipping, contemplation, and showcasing a matured agave spirit at its finest.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• Brand & Positioning
  This expression is labeled Ultra / Extra Aejo, and marketed as Clase Azuls most time-intensive creation.

• Aging & Cask Strategy
  The tequila is aged for 5 years in American whiskey casks, then finished in sherry casks (Amontillado, Oloroso, Pedro Ximnez) before recombining.

• Type / Agave / Purity
  It is an Extra Aejo (i.e. aged >3 years) and is based on Clase Azuls high standards for using 100% agave and traditional production methods.

• Decanter / Presentation
  The decanter is lavish: black ceramic with platinum, silver, and 24-karat gold accents. The feathered motif is hand-painted by skilled artisans.

• Proof / ABV
  Standard bottling is 40% ABV (80 proof).
