Clase Azul - the billion-dollar mezcal and tequila brand turning heads all over the world

Handmade, family-owned and Mexican - the billion-dollar company leading the tequila and mezcal market

Like many of the world’s best products, Clase Azul’s success is borne from failure. Its owner, Mexican native Arturo Lomeli, founded the company in 1997 - but only after watching his first tequila brand crash. Undeterred, he returned to college, studied marketing and tried all over again. 

The second time around, he took inspiration from the heart of Mexican culture, creating a handmade product that celebrated everything that is authentic about his country. The result? A hugely successful business that Forbes values at over a billion dollars. 

Featuring popular and hard to find bottles from Scotland, Japan, Ireland and more, the Single Malt Shop’s Spring Sale is coming to a close.

With prices slashed across many of our best-selling brands like Glenallachie, Dalmore, Laphroaig, Mortlach and more, this is a great chance to restock your whisky collection at bargain prices.
