Clase Azul ‘Durango’ Mezcal

Character, distinction, and beauty in one piece. Clase Azul Mezcal Durango is made with maguey Cenizo agaves, a rare varietalwhich takes 12-15 years to mature. The maguey Cenizo grows wild in the state of Durango in Northern Mexico. The combination of mineral-rich soil and water from natural springs give it a distinctive and smoky character with complex flavor notes. Clase Azul follows the same traditional palenque distillation process as any other artisanal mezcal. One impressive point about this mezcal is that the agave is milled by hand, rather than using a donkey and tahona.

Bright crystalline colour with silver sparkles. Citrus and herbal aromas, with green olive, cooked agave, and cloves. The palate showcase peanut, brown sugar, honey, wood, chocolate, and notes of ripe fruit. Pair with Fatty fish and shellfish (scallops, lobster, shrimp, octopus, salmon, tuna, and mahi mahi) cooked with sweet and sour sauces (tamarind and mango).

The raw beauty of black clay inspires its ark and textured decanter. The design on this special piece is carved by hand by artisans from a small community of the Mazahua people. Artisans from the Wixarika culture are the creators of its unique and colorful cap.
