Production
Traditional methods and 100% blue agave
Clase Azul Tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agaves are harvested by hand and slowly cooked in traditional ovens to extract their natural sugars. The tequila is distilled in copper stills and aged in American oak barrels, which gives it its characteristic aromas and flavors.
Handcrafted bottles
Each bottle of Clase Azul Tequila is hand-painted by Mexican artisans and is a unique work of art. This artisanal approach ensures that each bottle not only contains an exceptional tequila, but also represents a piece of Mexican art.
Strict quality controls
Clase Azul Tequila is subject to strict quality controls to ensure that every bottle meets the highest standards. From the selection of agaves to the final bottling, every step is carefully monitored. This attention to detail ensures that Clase Azul Tequila is always a product of the highest quality that meets the expectations of connoisseurs.
Mezcal – Traditional spirit with deep roots
Mezcal is an original Mexican spirit that, like tequila, is made from agave, but with significantly greater regional diversity and artisanal depth. It is mainly produced in states such as Oaxaca, where knowledge of cultivation, fermentation, and distillation has been passed down through generations.
A typical feature of mezcal is the roasting of the agave hearts in earth pits, which gives it its smoky, complex aroma. Each batch is an expression of terroir, craftsmanship, and cultural identity. The inclusion of mezcal in the Mexican spirits landscape demonstrates the diversity and rich heritage behind traditional distillates such as tequila and mezcal.
