1. Introduction
Clase Azul unveils its latest limited-edition tequila for Día de los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead, occurring on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2. This release marks the luxury brand’s second iteration of their Nuestros Recuerdos bottling series, which translates to “our memories.”
2. Significance of Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos is one of Mexico’s most significant holidays, honoring those who have passed. For this special tequila, Guadalajara-based Clase Azul and master distiller Viridiana Tinoco have crafted a spirit presented in a hand-painted decanter that beautifully commemorates the occasion.

The decanter’s design draws inspiration from the ofrenda, a vibrant offering for the deceased. Its base features iconography emblematic of marigold flowers and papel picado. Additionally, the white glaze represents alfeñiques (sugar confections). Notably, a striking depiction of a calavera de azúcar (sugar skull) enhances its visual appeal. Each handmade bottle, crafted by Mexican artisans, takes approximately 12 days to complete.
4. Exquisite Tequila Quality

Inside this magnificent decanter resides an exceptional tequila. Aged for 28 months, this añejo tequila spent its initial 22 months in American whiskey casks, followed by finishing in artisanal rum barrels from Martinique. Consequently, it exhibits a hint of sweetness, complemented by notes of orange peel, clove, walnut, and cacao.
