Clase Azul Tequila | Oligarc Wine & Spirits Liquor | Fast Delivery
Clase Azul is produced at the Productos Finos de Agave at Nom 1416, situated in the Jesus Maria region of Arandas in Los Altos Highlands region of Mexico. Clase Azul is a premium 100% authentic from the tequila crafted in a small town named Santa Maria Canchesdá. Over one hundred Mexican artisans go to work meticulously handcrafting each bottle.
“I had the idea to make something different,” says Arturo Lomeli, CEO and founder of Clase Azul, tells me. “I was sitting one day looking at the leg of a gothic table, and if you look at the bottle, it’s an upside-down gothic table leg. [Clase Azul] is a fortune of different steps aligning. I heard a long time ago a great analogy that says you can go from Los Angeles to Philadelphia at night and you just need to have 100 yards of light from your car. You don’t need to have [the whole route] lit up, you just need to know where you’re going to be in the next 100 yards. And that’s what’s happened with our company.”
Clase Azul tequilas are made from 100% from organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agaves.
Chosen from approximately 200 breeds of agave, this particular species is the only one that produces tequila. Once the agave is harvested, Clase Azul cooks them in old-fashioned brick ovens, a process which takes 72 hours. The cooked piñas are then crushed, after which a special brand of yeast is added. This liquid is allowed to ferment before the resultant spirit is meticulously twice-distilled with careful attention ensuring the highest quality spirit. This ultra-premium line of tequilas comes from the region of Jalisco, which imparts a unique flavor profile to the tequila. This bright reposado is silky smooth with a rich body and woody, fruity aromas and nuanced flavors of cooked agave, wood, vanilla, and caramel.
