Price: $25,000
Encased in a barrel that looks at tequila as an art, Clase Azul Jalisco 200 Limited Edition is crafted with 100% Tequilana Weber Blue Agave. As the name might also suggest, only 200 bottles of this limited-edition tequila were distilled. Each bottle is hand-made and hand-painted by artisans in a small village in Mexico, so each one is a unique piece.
4. Clase Azul 15th Anniversary Edition
Price: $30,000
To celebrate their 15th anniversary in the business, Clase Azul released their most expensive offering with a $30,000 price tag, featuring a ceramic bottle studded with items like amber and 24-karat gold. The 15 luxury bottles themselves are hand painted ceramics designed by local artists and come in a decorative box featuring 24-carat gold inlay.
Arturo Lomeli, the founder of Clase Azul, announced a new brand identity in January 2022, changing the brand’s name to Clase Azul Mexico in an effort to better represent Clase’s origin.
