Clase Azul Gold is a luxurious joven-style blend crafted to evoke a Mexican sunset: smooth, rich, and layered. It merges unaged Plata, French oak-rested Reposado, and an Extra Aejo aged in American whiskey casks and finished in Pedro Ximnez sherry barrels, giving flavors of cooked agave, toasted oak, fig marmalade, and a velvety finish with chocolate, caramel, and subtle dried fruit. The packaging is as much art as bottle a shimmering glass decanter fused to a ceramic base with 24-karat gold accents, making it both a display piece and a sipping spirit.

What Makes It Special

• The blend of three tequila styles (Plata, Reposado, Extra Aejo) with finishing in sherry adds layers and complexity.

• High craftsmanship not just in liquid but also in bottle design the decanter is a work of art.

• Clase Azul tends to emphasize smoothness and richness; Gold is targeted at those who want aged flavor (oak, wood, finish) but also aesthetics and prestige.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

• Serve neat or with a large ice cube to open up the oak and dried fruit layer.

• Try in cocktails where aged flavor is welcome: perhaps a tequila old fashioned, or a top-shelf Margarita variation that uses Gold instead of reposado/extra aejo.

• Pair with dessert: dark chocolate, citrus marmalade, fruit compote, or rich desserts; cheese plate (soft cheeses like Brie + nutty elements) also works.

• Given its presentation, its also great for display or gifting.
