The Clase Azul brand came to life in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1997. The founder, Arturo Lomeli, was a 23-year-old bar owner who dreamt of sharing his Mexican hometown and heritage with the world. So, he teamed up with a friend to make and sell their own tequila. And, well...it flopped. Lomeli wasn’t ready to back down, so he headed back to school to study marketing. There, his vision became clear: he needed to start from scratch with new packaging that not only captured his traditional culture but was beautiful enough to be kept and reused. Thus, the Clase Azul decanter was born. The ceramic vessel was (and still is) hand-crafted by local Mexican artisans and even inspired part of the brand name. Clase Azul, or “blue class” in Spanish, refers to the blue paint on the original decanter and the Mexican blue agave plant used to craft the tequila.For Lomeli, getting the business off the ground was a grassroots effort. In fact, he traveled from bar to bar in Mexico and the U.S. to pitch his tequila. Many bar owners turned him away due to the larger-than-life decanter size that didn’t fit on most bar shelves. Plus, the price of $100 per bottle was pretty hefty compared to the average $18 per bottle. Nevertheless, the Clase Azul brand persisted for years after and eventually hit their stride in 2014. The owners of Tao Group Hospitality, a major restaurant and nightlife provider, picked up the brand and spread the word of their personal affinity for the spirit. Their sales skyrocketed.Now, even through several growing pains, Clase Azul has blossomed its reputation as one of the most recognizable, high-quality spirits in the world of tequila.
