Heritage Mezcal, one of Mexico’s oldest spirits, is crafted from various agave plants, unlike tequila, which exclusively uses Blue Weber agave. Since 1994, mezcal has been protected by a denomination of origin, with production taking place in several Mexican states, including Oaxaca, Guerrero, Durango, and San Luis Potosí. Clase Azul honors mezcal’s heritage by adapting traditional, artisanal processes influenced by local environments. For instance, Clase Azul Mezcal Durango uses volcanic rocks to roast cenizo agave, while Clase Azul Mezcal Guerrero employs river stones to cook papalote agave. This thoughtful fusion of tradition and local materials defines the unique flavors of each mezcal in the Clase Azul collection. Artisanship Clase Azul’s decanters are a testament to the skill and creativity of Mexican artisans, who transform the country’s cultural expressions into meaningful, handcrafted works of art. Each decanter is meticulously decorated, featuring brushstrokes and decorative elements that give our spirits their unique character. Clase Azul’s mezcal decanters are crafted using textured glazes and traditional artisanal techniques. The company supports its artisans’ development and works to preserve their craftsmanship, helping to sustain Mexico’s cultural heritage for future generations.
