Clase Azul Dia de Los Muertos Edition Anejo Tequila 1L

The Clase Azul Día de Muertos 2021 Limited Edition Añejo Tequila stands as a magnificent tribute to one of Mexico’s most cherished traditions, the Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). This edition is particularly significant as it marks Clase Azul’s foray into Single Estate Agave Tequila, meticulously crafted by Master Distiller Vindiana Tinoco. The choice of agave from “El Cerro del Viboreo” in Los Altos de Jalisco ensures a unique terroir expression, making this tequila a rare and distinctive spirit.

A Celebration of Tradition and Gastronomy: The Día de Muertos edition is a celebration not just of the holiday’s rich traditions but also its vibrant gastronomy. Aged for over 14 months in a blend of casks previously used for American whiskey and first-use American oak casks with light and medium charring, the tequila offers a complex and inviting flavor profile.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The tequila greets the senses with notes of candied orange peel and agave syrup, layered with almond, citrus, and clove.
• Palate: Rich and intricate, the palate reveals flavors of roasted coffee and orange blossom, culminating in a memorable tasting experience that is both luxurious and deeply rooted in Mexican culinary traditions.
• Finish: A prolonged orange peel aftertaste lingers, inviting reflection on the spirit’s depth and the holiday it celebrates.

Artisanal Craftsmanship: The decanter is a masterpiece in itself, adorned with golden artwork that vividly portrays Catrinas engaged in a festive Día de Muertos banquet. The front of the bottle is further embellished with a handcrafted, gold-plated metal ornament, showcasing the exceptional skill of Mexican artisans and Clase Azul’s dedication to preserving and promoting Mexican art and culture.

Collectibility and Legacy: As the first installment in Clase Azul’s Día de Muertos series, this limited edition tequila is not only a commemoration of the Día de Muertos holiday but also a valuable collector’s item. It represents a commitment to excellence, tradition, and the art of tequila making, promising to be a cherished addition to any collection of fine spirits.
