Distiller Notes
Clase Azul San Luis Potosi Mezcal is crystal-clear with silver highlights. Aromas of cooked agave, caramel, green chile, sweet fruit and freshly cut grass with subtle aromas of wildflowers. Full bodied on the palate. An herbal front with hints of caramel, lime zest and clove, with a mineral and spiced aftertaste.
Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí is made from green agave (Agave salmiana), a variety of agave native to the semi-desert slopes and plains of San Luis Potosí. In its natural environment, the plant is considered mature at around 12 years of age, when it reaches a height of almost five feet. Its growth and rate of maturity depend on factors such as temperature, soil composition and the availability of water.
The decanter made for this edition is inspired by the history of the Huachichil people, a nomadic tribe that roamed across the desert of San Luis Potosí in Central Mexico. The red color of the ceramic alludes to the name of these people, which means "red-painted heads." The carvings on the base of the decanter are symbols of its stories: the vast desert and mountains that make up its territory, green agave leaves typical of the region and the red finch which is of great significance to the Huachichil people.
At Clase Azul Spirits, they are inspired by our mission to initiate and reinforce a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Mexico and its traditions.
From the superior tequila, to the unique & beautifully handcrafted bottles, Clase Azul is 100% authentic in every way. In the small Mexican town of Santa Maria Canchesda, over 100 artisans dedicate their time to creating each bottle one at a time.
Clase Azul tequila is created using only 100% organic Tequilana Weber Blue agaves – the only kind of agave out of 200 varieties that produces tequila. Once harvested, the agaves are cooked in old-fashioned brick ovens for 72 hours.
Once cooked, the pinas are crushed to extract the juices, which are then mixed with a special proprietary yeast. The fermentation process takes place, and finally, the alcohol is distilled twice with careful attention to ensure the highest quality spirit.
Our ultra-premium line of tequila is produced in one of the highest points in Los Altos, or the highlands – in the town of Jesus Maria in the region of Jalisco – which results in a very unique flavor profile.
