Clase Azul Plata and Clase Azul Reposado come from the same luxury tequila house, but they are not interchangeable. Plata is unaged and agave-forward; Reposado spends eight months in American whiskey casks and brings more oak, spice and sweetness.
Clase Azul Plata
Clase Azul Plata Tequila is the clearer, fresher expression. Clase Azul’s official profile describes fresh herbs, orange peel, lemon and green apple on the nose, with cooked agave, citrus and enduring herbal notes on the palate.
Choose Plata for premium Margaritas, Palomas, highballs or sipping when you want agave and citrus to remain central. Its transparent glass decanter also differs from the brand’s iconic white ceramic Reposado bottle.
Clase Azul Reposado
Clase Azul Reposado Tequila is aged for eight months in American whiskey casks. Official tasting notes include cooked agave, orange peel, toasted wood, hazelnut, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon and clove.
Choose Reposado for sipping, a richer tequila Old Fashioned or a gift recipient who enjoys oak-influenced whiskey and aged spirits. The hand-decorated white ceramic decanter is a major part of its presentation.

Buy Plata when you value fresh agave and cocktail flexibility. Buy Reposado when you prefer a richer aged profile and the signature ceramic presentation. More aging does not automatically make Reposado better; it makes it different.
