Clase Azul Plata vs Reposado: What’s the Difference?

Updated March 2026.

These are two Clase Azul tequilas in the same ceramic family, not a trophy. Plata is the unaged / blanco SKU. Reposado is the oak-aged SKU — CRT reposado if it sat 2–12 months. US lots typically print 40% ABV, read the neck. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink. Current tequila NOM is 1595 (hist. 1416/1137). Casamigos is 1609 / 1416. 818 is 1607.

Current NOM Tequila 1595 Same house — read the four digits

A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 drinks. Four pours are four drinks. Mezcal Clase Azul SKUs are NOM-070, not this tequila row. Eight-month Reposado copy is trade. Pour math: tequila drinks.
