Crafted with meticulous care and rooted in Mexican tradition, Clase Azul Tequila Blanco Ahumado 750mL is a truly one-of-a-kind tequila that redefines the blanco category.

The result is a deeply aromatic and flavorful profile that honors the past while delivering a refined, modern sipping experience. Housed in a strikingly handcrafted ceramic decanter, it’s a showpiece as much as a spirit. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
