Clase Azul Plata
Plata is the clearer view of the distillate. Without extended oak contact, roasted agave, citrus and pepper remain prominent. It is the more natural choice when a cocktail needs brightness and definition.
Clase Azul Reposado
Reposado spends eight months in American whiskey casks. The result is richer and sweeter, with oak-derived vanilla, spice and nutty notes layered over cooked agave. Its hand-painted decanter also contributes to its popularity as a gift.
Which one should you buy?
- Choose Plata for cocktails, citrus and fresh agave.
- Choose Reposado for slower sipping, richer sweetness and presentation.
- For a tasting: compare them side by side to isolate the effect of oak.
