Producer Information: Clase Azul Spirits

Clase Azul Spirits was founded in 1997 in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, a region celebrated for its rich volcanic soil and ideal agave-growing conditions. The company was established by Arturo Lomeli, who sought to blend traditional Mexican craftsmanship with modern luxury through meticulous attention to detail in both spirit production and bottle artistry. Clase Azul’s philosophy centers on honoring Mexican heritage by using slow-cooked organic blue Weber agave and employing local artisans to handcraft each ceramic decanter, reflecting the cultural vibrancy of their Tequila-producing region. Beyond their flagship tequilas, Clase Azul also crafts mezcal from wild Cenizo agave sourced from Durango, highlighting regional terroir and artisanal distillation methods unique to northern Mexico’s mezcal tradition.
