Don’t understand the hate in these comments, great video. I probably wont be buying them now, so you saved me quite some cash. Thanks for the cohesive explanation!
The guy who owns clase azul literally went back to school to get a degree in marketing because his tequila wasnt selling. So what did he do? Come out with a really nice bottle and put the same exact tequila inside and the rest is history.
That’s smart business. I never tasted it before and I purposely did it for the bottle. Kylie Jenner she doesn’t make tequila, tequila company slapped her name on it and sells because her name.
In memphis tn the Reposado cost is 179.99 and the Añejo is 499.99 the other one I have not been able to find thanx alot for all the information you provided I needed that thank you
Hey. Years ago when I started collecting I kept everything sealed. After we had the pandemic I realized that you only live once and if you don’t enjoy what you have now then when? So now I buy and open almost the same day 😂 Cheers 🥂
@@djscarecrows7702 some bottles keep going up in value… but IMO they need to be enjoyed. Maybe not a daily sipper but on some occasions, milestones, a good reason to pop it open!
Great video. thanks Which tequila would you say is most similar to the clase azul reposado in taste/aroma, but doesn't carry the huge premium you have to pay here due to the bottle hype?
Hey thanks! I'm actually working on a video showing my Clase Azul alternatives. For the reposado at a $50 price point you can try the Suerte Anejo or for a $100 price point you can try the Adictivo Extra Anejo. Both are very delicious and have similar taste/aroma. Keep an eye on the video coming out for other alternatives. Cheers 🥂
If you want to save money, Clase Azul isn't too different from flavored vodka. It probably sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I'm not, it's poorly made spirit that's covered with flavor additives. If you like that taste then that's cool, you like what you like, please just buy flavored vodka and the likes rather than giving thieves tons of money for nothing.

easy dont buy it! buy addative free tequila avoid it at all cost try Fortaleza or Tapatio Extra anejo and if you want to go hard! try Rey SOL extra Anejo or Tears of llorona! if you want a Blanco go with LALO tequila its made by Don Julio's grandson! OG's
For the snobby tequila enthusiast like you then yes have that fortaleza garbage. But for regular folks just trying to have a good tequila to share with fam and friends on a special occassion claze azul is gona taste way better that fortaleza and 7 leguas. I have both of those and they taste like ciggarette butts compared to reposado CA but im just a casual lol.
I wouldn't buy any of this over priced super additive tequila. For less than half the price of this sweetened juice you can get Fortaleza, El Tesoro, Tequila Ocho, G4, El Tequileno, etc. These options are way better and are made in the traditional way without additives.
I tried the reposado yrs ago when it was cheaper and i thought it was bad. Then i tried Gran Maya & i gave up on the fancy looking bottles altogether. 😂
Answer to the title of the video is none of them unless you want a nice decoration for your bar. Clase azul thought “hey if we make a pretty bottle and make a vanilla/caramel tequila syrup people will not only drink it but spend $120+ for it” it’s so one dimensional that you mind goes there’s something wrong here. 1% additives go a long way and not in a good way to mask what is a shitty tequila. All the brands are cheaper and blow clase azule away. G4, terralta, suerte, siete leguas, Fortaleza, Calle 23, volans, arteNOM, kazcanes, Arette, pasote, don fulano and Rey sol just to name a few
@@Epsteindidinfactkillhimself Mike knows his Tequila shhh. You obviously don't. Real Tequila is sipped straight, and there is an entire country that backs that up. If you need expensive bottles to attract 304s that's on you. .
I have bought fortaleza and siete lueguas for years taste same as don julio but they taste like shit compared to claze azul. Add me to the additive gang i guess🤷♂️...enjoy your patron lol
I tried the reposado at a bar and it tasted so fake. You get a strong fake vanilia note without any other flavors or complexity. I'm from the whiskey world and I find it strange that Rums and Tequila have sugar and additives. I'm honestly disappointed at Ben for even recommending buying this overpriced swill.
Thats like "the Game" on the podcast with Nore... He chugged a full bottle of Clase Azul Reposado! That was one of the wildest drinking I've ever seen. Cheers 🥂
Nah more like dumb Americans that don't know shit about Tequila lmao, I work at the biggest liquor chain in Texas called specs. I see people from all over the world flock to this bullshit
@@jd4064 You can have your opinion, obviously. I admit that say Don Julio anejo with tons of glycerin added in tastes great - if you want to drink liquid candy cane / cotton candy. Ii I want sugar with my tequila, I can make a mixed drink. What I want to know is if you hate whiskey/rye/Scotch/gin/rum etcetera just as much as additive free tequila. Because most of those are restriced by law (I believe) from having much of anything added to them, and if they do, they have to call it something different. So is tequila just worse than all the other liquors, or is it just a matter of taste?
Why are you even talking? Your music is so loud all that is accomplished is nothing. For God's sake, TURN THE MUSIC OFF! Your trying to inform, I understand that, but for crying out loud, it's a MUSIC VIDEO at this point.
@@youngsavage8665 Yes, but don’t get me wrong the bottles are beautiful, it’s the juice inside that’s not very good, too many additives to create a good aroma, smoother and sweeter tequila. All that takes away from the real taste and aroma of the tequila which is the Agave but to each there own.
It's going to be sweeter than the regular anejo because of the additives they add in it. Do yourself a favor and don't fall for the marketing or sub par quality Tequila. I work at specs down in Texas and I can literally think of so many better tequilas. Ones that you can still find in stores and aren't hard has hell to get because of the demand like Fortaleza
Love the content man, found you for searching up clase azul, absolutely amazing drink. Anyway you can do a review of Herradurra Ultra Anejo? Would like your thoughts on it. Thanks man, keep it up
@@rocklookalike No, they are both bad but at least Jose Cuervo doesnt pretend to be a high quality tequila when Clase uses tons of additives and unripened agave.

I've seen the Reposado as high as $50 per shot... haven't seen the anejo at any bar yet... Probably to expensive to stock. Cheers 🥂
100$ a shot
Get the extra anejo and do this again :)
It was a good video however your voice compared to the music was low . Music was louder and annoying
