Clase Azul Dia de Los Muertos 2021 Limited Edition Tequila 1L

The first installment in Clase Azul's Día de Muertos five-edition series — and the first-ever single estate agave tequila from Clase Azul, sourced exclusively from "El Cerro del Viboreo" in Los Altos de Jalisco. 1 liter.

Clase Azul's annual Día de Muertos limited editions are among the most anticipated releases in the premium tequila category — hand-crafted ceramic bottles as much art objects as vessels for the spirit. The 2021 is the first of a five-part series and carries a specific production distinction that makes it uniquely significant: Clase Azul produced its very first Single Estate Agave Tequila for this release.

All agave for the 2021 comes exclusively from "El Cerro del Viboreo" — a small mountain in Los Altos de Jalisco, the highland region known for producing particularly mature and complex Blue Weber agave. The expression is a blend of añejo tequila aged over 14 months in American whiskey casks, and tequilas aged in first-use American oak casks with light and medium charring. The result reflects the iconic flavors of Día de Muertos offerings: candied orange peel, agave syrup, almond, citrus, clove, roasted coffee, and orange blossom, with a prolonged orange peel finish.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Golden amber with the warmth of the two-cask aging program.
• Nose: Candied orange peel, agave syrup, and almond — the single estate agave's concentrated character immediately apparent.
• Palate: Citrus, clove, roasted coffee, and orange blossom — the two cask types producing a complexity that standard blended-source tequilas don't achieve.
• Finish: Prolonged orange peel — long, vibrant, and distinctly influenced by the Los Altos single estate agave.

The 2021 Bottle

Each Día de Muertos ceramic decanter is individually hand-crafted and hand-painted. The 2021 edition — the inaugural release in the five-part series — features a black bottle with gold accents and Día de Muertos imagery honoring the cherished moments shared with loved ones through the art of gastronomy.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does single estate agave mean for tequila? Single estate agave means all agave for the expression comes from one specific farm or terroir — in this case El Cerro del Viboreo, a small mountain in Los Altos de Jalisco. Standard tequila blends agave from multiple farms across the Jalisco region. Single estate production allows the specific mineral, climate, and soil characteristics of that land to express themselves in the final spirit.
• Why is the 2021 the first installment of a five-part series? Clase Azul designed the Día de Muertos series as five distinct annual editions, each with its own visual and tasting concept. The 2021 establishes the single estate agave foundation and the gastronomy-inspired flavor theme that will evolve across subsequent releases.
• How does the 2021 differ from the 2020 Día de Muertos? The 2020 used a Joven blend (Plata + Reposado + Extra Añejo) in a 750ml format. The 2021 is a single estate añejo in a 1-liter format — fundamentally different in both production approach and bottle size.
• Is the ceramic bottle reusable? Yes — the hand-painted ceramic is designed as a permanent display object. The Día de Muertos imagery is sealed and durable.
