Clase Azul México — Día de Muertos Trascender, 2026 Limited Edition

Hand-Painted Ceramic Decanter, Añejo Tequila Blend

Día de Muertos is one of Mexico's most cherished traditions, honoring those who came before through the belief that life does not end but transforms — that memory, love, and ritual allow those we hold dear to remain with us across generations. Trascender marks a new chapter in Clase Azul's Día de Muertos creations: following the completion of the brand's acclaimed Nuestros Recuerdos series (2021–2025), this release stands on its own as the beginning of a new approach, with each future Día de Muertos edition conceived as a singular creation.

Curated by Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco, the tequila inside is a captivating añejo blend. At its heart is an exceptional añejo aged for more than 30 months and finished in casks previously used to ferment wine destined for Champagne production, complemented by a second añejo aged over 30 months in American whiskey casks, whose bold character and toasted notes bring the blend to completion. The Champagne-destined wine casks carry the imprint of autolysis — the slow release of compounds from spent lees — imparting warm, buttery aromas of toasted walnut and freshly baked bread.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright gold with luminous highlights.

Aroma: Pear compote, ripe apple, and peach unfold into notes of honey and sourdough bread, underscored by toasted oak.

Palate: Silky and beautifully rounded, revealing ripe pear, agave nectar, cacao nibs, and toasted walnut, with subtle acidity lending freshness and leading to a long, warm finish with delicate spice.

Body: Full.

The Decanter

The decanter's glaze shifts from deep blue to vibrant magenta, a hue inspired by the mano de león, one of the traditional blossoms used to adorn ofrendas — the altars created to honor the departed. Around its base unfolds an intricate floral composition evoking the petal-strewn paths believed to guide returning souls during Día de Muertos, with subtle details from tiny skulls to delicate droplets honoring the duality of life and death. From the floral composition, 24-karat gold brushstrokes ascend to symbolize the soul's luminous journey toward the sun, with two marigolds representing a soul in transformation as it passes from the physical to the spiritual realm. Every element is hand-painted by Clase Azul's artisans using their signature feathered brushstrokes.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat in a tulip-shaped glass with a wide bowl.
