Clase Azul is a very high end Tequila brand, known for their beautiful painted porcelain bottles. Tequila is made from a particular type of agave (blue), fermented and distilled within a delimited region of Mexico. Mezcal is also fermented and distilled agave, but from outside that region and it does not have to be blue agave. Mezcal is a category on fire. It is not cheap rotgut but can be a really sublime spirit.
While Clase Azul produces several different Tequila, they make only one mezcal. While most of the quality mezcal we see is from Oaxaca, the Clase Azul folks have produced theirs from Durango. It is made from the cenzio species of agave, native to that state. It is soft, round, complex and spicy. It is unlike any mezcal I've had before. Please come join us for a taste. We will open one bottle at precisely 6:30. When it's gone, it's gone.
