Clase Azul Reposado Tequila 1.75L

Clase Azul is a Mexican tequila brand that has been sharing the magic of Mexican culture with the world for the past 25 years. The brand was born from a dream to showcase the beauty of Mexican traditions and land. Its iconic decanter, a unique creation made by Mexican artisans, was the starting point of this dream. The name Clase Azul, meaning blue class, was inspired by the blue agave used to make their spirits and the paint on their first Reposado decanter. Despite facing challenges such as natural disasters and financial crises, Clase Azul has stayed true to its ideals and overcome adversity. In 2007, the brand founded Tradición Mazahua, a ceramic workshop where Clase Azul artisans dedicate themselves to creating the brand's decanters as a tribute to Mexican culture. Today, Clase Azul is proud to share the magic of Mexico with more than 55 countries. The brand has transformed into Clase Azul México, but it still preserves the spirit that drives it to showcase the beauty of Mexican culture to the world. Clase Azul México aims to transcend and represent Mexican culture around the world with its exquisite creations and spaces that reveal the heart of Mexico.

The agaves used for Clase Azul tequilas grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of red-coloured earth that creates unique properties in the plant. To create their exquisite tequilas, Clase Azul follows a long transformation process that involves slow-cooking the agave piñas in masonry ovens, milling them to extract the sugars, fermenting them with patented yeast, and double-distilling them in copper stills. Clase Azul Tequila Plata is the unaged tequila that captures the notes of the agave, but the journey isn't over yet. The tequila is matured in casks made from oak or other types of wood, allowing it to develop a more complex profile. Clase Azul also honours the tradition of mezcal, which can be made from a wide range of agave species and reflects the soil and conditions that have nourished the agave. The artisanship found in Clase Azul's decanters is a reflection of Mexico's cultural diversity. Each decanter is a creative process that demands artistic drive, technical ability and knowledge passed down for generations. The tequila decanters tell stories through their decoration, while the mezcal decanters display caps decorated with precious artisanal techniques.    

Clase Azul Reposado Tequila 1.75L stands as a symbol of Mexican tradition and culture, embodying the essence of craftsmanship and excellence. Crafted with meticulous care using slow-cooked 100% Blue Weber Agave, this ultra-premium reposado tequila is a testament to the unique and incomparable flavors that Mexico has to offer. To create Clase Azul Reposado Tequila, a masterful aging process takes place over eight months in American whiskey casks. This careful maturation imparts a distinct character to the tequila, infusing it with the rich flavors of hazelnut and vanilla that tantalize the palate. The result is an exceptionally smooth finish that leaves a lasting impression. What truly sets Clase Azul Reposado Tequila apart is its iconic decanter, recognized worldwide for its exquisite design. Each decanter is meticulously hand-painted in cobalt blue, featuring a distinctive "feathered" pattern that is instantly recognizable. This artistic touch pays homage to the craftsmanship of Mexican artisans, making every decanter a unique piece of art. As you pour Clase Azul Reposado Tequila into your glass, you are greeted by a beautiful gold colour with bright yellow highlights, a visual representation of the tequila's luxurious character. Its medium body coats the palate, offering a smooth and velvety mouthfeel that enhances the tasting experience. The aroma of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila is a delightful blend of scents. The sweetness of agave syrup intertwines with the inviting notes of vanilla and the tangy aroma of candied orange peel. The presence of American oak adds depth and complexity, while light hints of cinnamon and banana add a touch of intrigue. When it comes to taste, Clase Azul Reposado Tequila delivers a symphony of flavors. The nuttiness of hazelnut pairs harmoniously with the smooth essence of vanilla, creating a rich and indulgent palate. Cloves and cinnamon add a subtle spiciness, while a hint of agave syrup lingers in the background, providing a delicate sweetness that perfectly balances the overall profile. To fully appreciate the magic of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila, it is recommended to pair it with dishes that complement its unique flavors. A rich cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork ribs, accompanied by an acidulated sauce, provides a savoury and satisfying pairing. For cheese enthusiasts, aged cheese such as sheep milk cheese or smoked provolone, paired with honey and old-style mustard, offers a delightful combination of flavors. To conclude on a sweet note, indulge in a bittersweet chocolate mousse with hazelnuts and orange, allowing the flavors to intertwine and create a memorable dessert experience.
