Clase Azul Día de Muertos "Recuerdos" (Memories) Añejo is an ultra-premium, limited-edition tequila from Mexico. Released in late 2025, it serves as the fifth and final installment of the "Nuestros Recuerdos" series, a five-year collection dedicated to the traditions of the Day of the Dead. This expression, crafted by Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco, is designed as a liquid tribute to cherished memories, specifically recalling the scents of traditional Mexican kitchens.

Spirit Description

The 2025 edition is a sophisticated blend of Añejo tequilas aged between 12 and 38 months. A unique aspect of its production involves a portion of the agave being cooked in traditional pit ovens to provide a resounding depth and a subtle hint of smoke.

• Maturation: Aged exclusively in first-use American whiskey casks to impart rich, woody characteristics.

• Colour: Deep amber.

• Aroma: A complex bouquet featuring cooked Blue Weber agave, dark cherry, and orange peel, layered with warm oak, vanilla bean, spiced cinnamon, and toasted almond.

• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety. Initial notes of sweet vanilla and butterscotch are balanced by dark sugar, hints of chocolate, and baking spices like nutmeg.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and smooth, with lingering notes of sweet oak, rich caramel, and a sophisticated whisper of spice.

• ABV: Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The Decanter

True to the brand's heritage, the 2025 limited edition is housed in a handcrafted ceramic decanter that doubles as a work of art.

• Design: The ivory-colored decanter features traditional ofrenda (altar) illustrations by Mexican artist Erika Rivera.

• Ornamentation: It is adorned with a handcrafted 24-karat gold locket medallion that opens to reveal a piece of reflective obsidian, symbolizing the connection between the present and the past.

• Exclusivity: Only a limited number of bottles were released globally, making it one of the most anticipated and coveted collectibles in the premium spirits market.
