About Clase Azul Joven Día de Muertos 2020 Edition

Clase Azul Spirits, founded by Arturo Lomeli in 1997, produces world-class tequila and mezcal. After some teething problems, the company sent the first bottles of its first reposado tequila to the market in 2000. Since then, the company has developed a range of luxurious spirits, which show a deep appreciation of Mexican traditions. Their unique bottles are handcrafted and individually painted by over 100 artisans from an indigenous community in the small town of Santa Maria Canchesdá, and each takes two weeks to complete. The company has strong ties with the community creating its products, and also comprises a non-profit with a mission to keep Mexican artistry alive and thriving by providing resources and support to local artists. The company also encourages the upcycling of its bottles, which offer endless possibilities for turning them into eye-catching everyday objects.

Clase Azul tequilas are produced in one of the highest points in Los Altos, or the highlands – in the town of Jesus Maria in the region of Jalisco. Clase Azul tequila is made using 100% organic Tequilana Weber Blue agaves. Harvested agaves are cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. The cooked piñas are crushed to extract the juices, which are then mixed with a special proprietary yeast. After the fermentation process, the alcohol is distilled twice with careful attention to ensure the highest quality spirit.

With only 2,000 bottles produced, Clase Azul Joven Día de Muertos 2020 Edition is a strictly limited affair. It’s a special blend of their Plata, Reposado (aged 8 months in oak), and Ultra (aged 5 years in sherry casks) tequilas that celebrates the Day of the Dead with a complex sipping spirit. The striking bottle features a skull motif with Mexican marigold flowers that are an integral part of the Day of the Dead celebrations.

Legally, tequila has to be made of 51% of Blue agave around the Jalisco region in Mexico. There are different types of tequila according to age – from the youngest representatives, blanco, reposado, and añejo, to the oldest extra añejo.
