Clase Azul Joven Día de Muertos 2020 Edition

Established in 1997 by Arturo Lomeli, Clase Azul Spirits is a producer of exceptional mezcal and Best tequila. In 2000, the firm released its first batch of reposado tequila into the market following a few teething issues. Since then, the business has created a variety of opulent spirits that exhibit a profound understanding of Mexican customs.

Each of their one-of-a-kind bottles takes two weeks to make and is meticulously crafted by more than a hundred indigenous artisans from the little village of Santa Maria Canchesdá.The business has close relationships to the neighborhood where its products are made, and it also includes a non-profit whose goal is to encourage and sustain Mexican art by giving local artists resources…

The business also promotes upcycling, as there are countless ways to transform its bottles into striking, practical items.

The village of Jesus Maria in the Jalisco area is home to the highest point in Los Altos, often known as the highlands, where Clase Azul tequilas are made. Tequilana Weber Blue agaves that are certified organic are used to make Clase Azul tequila. Agaves that have been harvested are cooked for 72 hours in conventional brick ovens. After the cooked piñas are smashed to release their juices, a unique proprietary yeast is combined with the juices. To guarantee the best quality spirit, the alcohol is meticulously distilled twice following the fermentation process.

The Clase Azul Joven Día de Muertos 2020 Edition is a strictly limited edition, with only 2,000 bottles made. With a rich sipping spirit, it’s a unique blend of their Best tequila, Plata, Reposado (aged 8 months in oak), and Ultra (aged 5 years in sherry casks), celebrating the Day of the Dead. The eye-catching bottle has a skull design with Mexican marigold flowers, which are a must-have for Day of the Dead festivities.

The Productos Finos de Agave at Nom 1416, located in the Jesus Maria neighborhood of Arandas in the Los Altos Highlands region of Mexico, is where Clase Azul is made. The upscale, 100% genuine tequila Clase Azul is made in Santa Maria Canchesdá, a little village. A hundred and fifty Mexican artisans labor painstakingly by hand to create each bottle.

All of the ingredients in Clase Azul tequilas are organic Tequilana Weber Blue agave. Out of almost two hundred agave breeds, this specific species is the only one that can produce tequila. After the agave is collected, Clase Azul spends 72 hours cooking it in vintage brick ovens.

After the cooked piñas are mashed, a certain type of yeast is added. This mixture is left to ferment, and the resulting spirit is then painstakingly double-distilled, twice over, to produce the purest spirit possible.

dia de los muertos joven Tasting Notes

Tequila has a nasty reputation, but it’s not just for Saturday night shots. There’s more to the spirit.

According to a local legend, lightning struck an agave cactus in the state of Jalisco before the Nahua tribe sipped its warm nectar, giving rise to this classic Mexican beverage. Look, tequila.

According to Mexican law, tequila must contain 51% Blue agave from the Jalisco region. Tequila is classified into age-groups: extra añejo is the oldest, while blanco, reposado, and añejo are the youngest.
