Clase Azul Añejo Tequila
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 Añejo Tequila is a tribute to the Mazahua indigenous culture and an expression that truly honours Mexican culture. Its intense amber colour with copper highlights and great body are the result of a magnificent 25-month journey in American whiskey casks. On the nose, Clase Azul Añejo Tequila offers a complex aroma of toffee, cinnamon, clove, roasted hazelnut, Mexican vanilla, orange marmalade, quince and toasted oak. The silky mouthfeel on the palate reveals flavors of nutmeg, clove, orange marmalade and toasted oak. This tequila pairs well with rich cuts of meats such as ribeye, picanha, duck breast or beef ribs accompanied by a robust sauce like velouté, meat gravy or mole. Semi-mature cheeses like brie and camembert accompanied with bread and red berry compote also make a great pairing. For dessert, try pairing Clase Azul Añejo Tequila with bitter chocolate with guava jam or roasted banana. The external beauty of the Clase Azul Añejo Tequila decanter tells the story of its origin. The spirals superimposed on the raw clay symbolize the earth's fertility, while the thin blue line represents the water that gives life to the agave. The piña in the center symbolizes the heart and soul of tequila and the four-petaled flower on the back is the traditional Mazahua representation of the Sun and its fullness in the centre of space and time. The delicate and distinctive feathered design of the Clase Azul family in 24K gold paint adds the finishing touch to this beautiful decanter.
