The first, Clase Azul Mezcal Guerrero, unveils a hidden gem within Mexico’s diverse cultural landscape—the captivating state of Guerrero, a region seldom explored yet brimming with unique treasures. Inspired not only by the region’s landscapes, gastronomy, art, and heritage but also by the resilience and leadership of its women. Paying tribute to the rich tapestry of Guerrero’s natural beauty, it is crafted from the rare papalote agave, which thrives in Guerrero’s mountainous terrain, this mezcal boasts a flavor profile infused with coastal influences and the freshness of lush forests. Expect delightful notes of grapefruit skin, fresh wood, rosemary, peanut oil, and daisy flowers, making it an ideal pairing for semi-fatty fish, shellfish, tapas with avocado, or white chocolate with tamarind jam.

For a distinctive and character-rich mezcal, Clase Azul Mezcal Durango is an unparalleled choice. Crafted from the Cenizo Agave, a wild agave varietal native to the state of Durango in Northern Mexico, this mezcal is characterized by a smoky complexity and distinctive flavor notes. Born from mineral-rich soil and pristine natural spring water, it maintains a bright crystalline appearance with silver sparkles. Delight your palate with aromas of citrus, herbs, green olive, cooked agave, and cloves, followed by flavors of peanut, brown sugar, honey, wood, chocolate, and hints of ripe fruit. Perfectly paired with fatty fish, shellfish, Melba bread with avocado and aged cheeses, or delightful chocolates with salted nuts or fruity jams, this makes for a festive holiday pairing.
