The Story
A Joven blend of Clase Azul Plata, Reposado, and Extra Añejo in a hand-crafted ceramic bottle decorated with skull and floral motifs. The 2020 DÃa de Muertos limited edition from Clase Azul.
Clase Azul's annual DÃa de Muertos limited edition is among the most anticipated releases in the premium tequila category — a bottle as much a collector's object as a spirit. Each year's design is unique, hand-crafted by artisans, and produced in strictly limited quantities. The 2020 edition features intricate skull and floral imagery celebrating the Mexican holiday that honors the continuity between life and death.
The tequila inside is a Joven blend — combining Clase Azul Plata (unaged, with fresh agave character), Reposado (8 months in American oak, for caramel and vanilla), and Extra Añejo (aged over three years in sherry-seasoned oak, for deeper complexity). The blend creates a profile more complex than the Plata alone but more vibrant than the Reposado or Extra Añejo alone. The 2020 tasting notes reflect this balance: golden in color with vanilla, oak, nutty toffee, white pepper, and savory notes.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Golden amber from the Reposado and Extra Añejo components.
- Aroma: Vanilla, oak, and fresh agave — the three-component blend is evident in the layered nose.
- Palate: Smooth and complex — nutty toffee, white pepper, savory agave notes, and a caramel richness from the older components.
- Finish: Warm and satisfying — spice and sweet agave fading into a clean close.
The 2020 Bottle
Each DÃa de Muertos ceramic decanter is individually hand-crafted and hand-painted. The 2020 edition features skull and floral motifs — symbols of the holiday's celebration of life, memory, and the connection between the living and the dead. No two bottles are identical. The 750ml presentation is the standard size for this edition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the 2020 DÃa de Muertos differ from the 2019? Each year's edition features a unique bottle design and a slightly different Joven blend composition. The 2019 was a 1-liter bottle; the 2020 returns to the standard 750ml format. Both are hand-crafted limited editions, but the bottle designs and production numbers differ each year.
- What is Joven tequila? Joven (meaning "young") refers to a blend of unaged and aged tequila. Clase Azul's DÃa de Muertos Joven blends Plata, Reposado, and Extra Añejo — creating a profile that spans fresh agave character, oak sweetness, and aged complexity simultaneously.
- Is the ceramic bottle reusable? Yes — the hand-painted ceramic decanter is designed as a permanent display object. The skull and floral painting is sealed and durable. Each bottle is a unique piece of Mexican artisanship meant to be kept.
- Is the 2020 edition still available? In limited quantities. The DÃa de Muertos editions are strictly limited annual releases. Once sold out, this specific edition will not return.
