Clase Azul México Announces Ancestral-Inspired Tequila Blanco Ahumado
Clase Azul México has announced the latest icon to join its portfolio of premium tequilas and mezcals. The Clase Azul Tequila Blanco Ahumado encapsulates the heritage of the Mexican brand, emphasizing artisanal mastery, dedication to quality and an unparalleled tasting experience birthed by a revival of ancient cooking techniques. The subtle, smokey composition pays homage to the beautiful regions of Los Altos de Jalisco, home to Clase Azul México.Speaking of the brand’s latest tequila addition as a delight to the senses and a paean to the natural beauty of agave, Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco at Clase Azul México shares the following: “Looking to achieve a smokey profile for this tequila, I set out to capture the essence of traditional mezcal-making, reinterpreting each stage of the process to elevate the unique character of the blue agave, but this time through a deliberate act.”To create this unique, expressive blend of tequila, blue agave cores are cooked in an ancestral oven within the ground. Lit with firewood and volcanic rocks, the agave is later shredded before undergoing a meticulous fermentation process including Clase Azul’s proprietary yeast obtained from select agave fields. Aromatic notes of plum, red apple and fresh lemon create a silky, smooth tequila punctuated by a smokey essence. Well-regarded for its decadent decanters — sculptural statement pieces that elevate personal bar carts and on-trend bars alike — the Tequila Blanco Ahumado is no different in its poetic presentation. It’s bottled in a semi-transparent decanter alluding to the smoke and volcanic rocks that heat the agave, with a luxurious copper-toned emblem and cap that capture the richness of the liquid’s traditional cooking process. The spirit continues Clase Azul’s mission to create memorable tasting rituals distinguished by the stunning landscapes and indigenous regions of Mexico.
