In addition to the tequila it produces exclusively from the blue agave, Clase Azul tells the story of Mexican culture with the production of mezcal. San Luis Potosí, Guerrero, and Durango are some of the 9 states in Mexico that allow the production of mezcal from green agave. Each gives the spirit a different character that has been shaped by the different climates, altitudes, and cultures of each region.
Mezcal, or otherwise baked agave, differs from tequila in terms of the raw material and the cooking method. Unlike tequila, it is baked in underground ovens buried in the earth. This is the reason for its smoky but also strongly earthy character that differentiates it from tequila.
Clase Azul Mezcal Durango comes from the cenizo agave that grows in the north of Mexico. There the climatic conditions are extreme and the intense drought and lack of water result in the concentration of the plant's characteristics. The pinas are roasted with firewood and volcanic rocks, which further enhance the aromas of the mezcal. The lid of the handmade decanter is a work of art with inlaid beads depicting the cycle of transformation and nature's relationship with the human touch.
The bottle gives you the feeling that it contains the coveted nectar of longevity, made in the land of mythical creatures. Clase Azul Mezcal Durango may be that.
In the glass, it is crystalline with bright straw highlights. Rich aromas of orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, and citrus. Notes of thyme, cloves, tobacco, and cloves add to the complexity.
In the mouth, it has a full body with the vegetality being very distinct. Notes of chocolate, wood, tobacco, and quince create a delightful ensemble with a strong aftertaste.
