Price: $25,000
Encased in a barrel that looks at tequila as an art, Clase Azul Jalisco 200 Limited Edition is crafted with 100% Tequilana Weber Blue Agave. As the name might also suggest, only 200 bottles of this limited-edition tequila were distilled. Each bottle is hand-made and hand-painted by artisans in a small village in Mexico, so each one is a unique piece.
4. Clase Azul 15th Anniversary Edition
Price: $30,000
To celebrate their 15th anniversary in the business, Clase Azul released their most expensive offering with a $30,000 price tag, featuring a ceramic bottle studded with items like amber and 24-karat gold. The 15 luxury bottles themselves are hand painted ceramics designed by local artists and come in a decorative box featuring 24-carat gold inlay.
Arturo Lomeli, the founder of Clase Azul, announced a new brand identity in January 2022, changing the brand’s name to Clase Azul Mexico in an effort to better represent Clase’s origin.
3. Jose Cuervo 250 Aniversario The Rolling Stones Edition
Price: $60,000
Jose Cuervo’s oldest tequila to date, this extra añejo expression is blended with a reserve of 100-year-old blanco tequila from the Cuervo family’s private cellar. This bottle pays homage to the role Jose Cuervo played in the Rolling Stones 1972 North American Tour and the luxury and glamor of the time.
