Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Música
Jalisco, Mexico
Why Buy: Folks, this is not just another limited edition: it's one of the most hotly-anticipated releases of the year, not only in the tequila space, but in all the world of spirits — an event that spirits enthusiasts circle on their calendars months in advance. Access, as ever, is highly limited, which only just deepens the allure around this superlative, highly-aged, and extraordinarily mature ultra-premium tequila. Add to that the one-of-a-kind bottle, honoring Mexico's Day of the Dead (but standing, also, as a gorgeously hand-crafted totem that pushes the boundaries of functional art), and you have one of the most coveted collectibles on the market.
Our Tasting Notes: The first sip tells you you’re in for something special — velvet smooth and unfolding its story slowly and in delicate layers. There's an intricately controlled dance of sweetness and spice on the palate, as hints of candied citrus peel and cinnamon sneak up and assert themselves and then recede, giving ground to the earthy smokiness of roasted agave. The finish lingers like a fond memory, warm and inviting, with subtle notes of cocoa and dried fruit that beckon you back for more.
The Story: Clase Azul's journey began in 1997, in Jalisco, Mexico, when founder Arturo Lomeli set out to redefine premium tequila. Lomeli's vision wasn't just about creating a superior spirit — it was about elevating tequila to an art form and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Mexico. Each bottle he has released has been a stirring testament to this philosophy, from the meticulous selection of agave to the time-honored distillation process. But Clase Azul's true magic lies in its aging expertise. They've mastered the delicate balance of allowing the tequila to mature without overpowering the essential agave character. The Dia de los Muertos release takes this craft to the next level. It's a celebration of life, memory, and the cyclical nature of existence — themes deeply woven into Mexican culture — and has earned the brand a devoted and passionate following among connoisseurs and celebrities alike. Each bottle is hand-crafted and hand-painted by artisans in Mexico, taking up to two weeks to complete. These aren’t mere containers — they’re works of art that tell a story of craftsmanship and cultural pride.
The Specs: Their tequilas start with blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. The juice is then fermented using proprietary yeasts before being double-distilled in copper pot stills. For their ultra-premium releases like the Dia de los Muertos edition, Clase Azul often employs extended aging periods in carefully selected oak barrels. This process imparts depth and character while maintaining the tequila's essential agave notes. The final blend is a closely guarded secret, crafted by their master tequilero to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
