As families prepare to gather and toast to the end of the year, Clase Azul México enriches the moment with its most culturally significant release yet. Ortiz, a master of the barro bruñido pottery tradition, brings decades of technique, family lore, and artistic intuition to this collection. His mastery, shaped through lineage, mentorship, and national recognition, transforms each decanter into a living testament of Tonalá’s artistic legacy. The result is a trilogy of handcrafted works that blur the line between collectible art and refined luxury tequila.

The first decanter, Jardín Tonalteca, draws on the earthy palette and natural serenity of Tonalá. Warm ochres and muted blues frame a white-tailed deer surrounded by agave and native flora—symbols of balance and renewal. Coro Silvestre brings the vivid energy of Mexico’s wildlife into focus, with jungle birds and foliage rendered in hand-applied pigments derived from natural oxides.

Paraíso Nocturno, the darkest and most contemplative of the three, portrays a luminous nocturnal landscape where a deer and hummingbird appear amid moonlit tones. Each piece is crowned with a hammered copper cap and a unique tonal flower, elevating the decanter to a sculptural object meant to be admired long after the tequila is enjoyed.

Inside each vessel is a singular expression crafted by Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco and aged through a sequence of American whiskey casks and Premier Cru Supérieur Sauternes barrels. Jardín Tonalteca, a reposado aged over eleven months, opens with notes of apricot, raisin, and toasted almond. Coro Silvestre, an añejo matured for over twenty-five months, offers aromas of apricot preserves, walnut, and clove, finishing with a soft citrus sweetness.

Paraíso Nocturno, an extra añejo aged for more than forty-one months, reveals deep tones of dark chocolate, clove, and candied walnut. Each expression is brought to balance through a slow-drip dilution method traditionally used in cognac and brandy, creating an exceptionally smooth, harmonious finish.

For those planning to celebrate the holidays at home, Clase Azul México also adds a festive touch with its Agave Negroni—a seasonal cocktail made with Reposado and Mezcal Durango. The familiar bitterness of a classic Negroni becomes warmer, richer and more expressive when infused with agave spirits, creating a cocktail that feels both celebratory and deeply comforting. It’s an ideal way to gather friends and family during the holidays, adding a touch of Mexico’s artistic spirit to an intimate evening at home.

With only 100 sets available globally—and offered exclusively at Clase Azul La Terraza Los Cabos and Clase Azul The Loft Brooklyn by invitation—it stands as one of the most exceptional luxury releases of the season. Beyond the craftsmanship and the tequila itself, it reflects the brand’s devotion to preserving and uplifting Mexico’s artistic heritage through Fundación Causa Azul, which continues to support artisan communities across the country.
