CLASE Azul México, celebrated for its exceptionally smooth tequilas and statement-keep-sake-type bottles, has released the final expression in its five-year Día de Muertos series: Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Recuerdos. Limited to 10,000 decanters, at its heart, it is to celebrate memory and tradition.
Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Recuerdos
Crafted by Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco, the añejo tequila blends spirits aged between 12 and 38 months in American whiskey casks, with part of the agave cooked in a traditional pit oven. The result is a spirit with aromas of smoked wood, citrus and spice, opening into flavours of marmalade, clove and toasted wood.

The ivory-hued decanter, designed by Mexican artist Erika Rivera, shows the image of a Día de Muertos altar, and each bottle has been finished with a 24kt gold-plated locket containing an obsidian cameo, handmade in Jalisco by artisans Milagros de Latón through more than 50 detailed steps. Cheers to that.
