How It Differs

The brand calls this one its most recent icon, and its smoke comes from the revival of ancestral tequila-making techniques. Clase Azul Plata is also unaged and is described as the cornerstone of the brand’s expressions of tequila, while the Reposado is aged for eight months in American whiskey casks.

How to Serve

Serve it with Clase Azul’s own pairings: firm aged cow’s milk cheese, white fish, and plum or red apple. If the smoke in the glass appeals, an Islay single malt such as Laphroaig Oak Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a natural next bottle, as its page describes Islay peat smoke.

Ideal for: gifting, celebrations and anyone curious about smoky tequila.

Pairs with: our picks for its smoke, plum, red apple and lemon are Chinese-Malaysian siu yuk and steamed white fish, Malay satay, and Indian-Malaysian tandoori fish tikka.
