Discover The Rich Tradition Of Mezcal With Clase Azul For National Mezcal Day In Miami

Haute Wine + Spirits, News | October 18, 2024
With National Mezcal Day, October 21st, around the corner, we’re doing a deep dive into the art of mezcal. For Clase Azul Mexico, Mexico’s best-kept secrets lie in the ancient tradition of mezcal production, preserved across nine distinct regions. Unlike tequila, which is distilled exclusively from blue agave, mezcal is crafted from various agave species, each imbued with the unique qualities of the soil and climate in which it grows. This diversity allows mezcal to capture the essence of its region, offering a taste that reflects the heart and soul of the Mexican landscape. From Oaxaca’s earthy tones to Puebla’s floral notes, each mezcal reveals a story of its origin, transporting you to Mexico’s hidden treasures.

The Clase Azul mezcal family is comprised of three incredibly unique profiles: Mezcal Durango, Mezcal Guerrero, and Mezcal San Luis Potosi. Clase Azul Mezcal Durango is an exceptional mezcal crafted from wild Cenizo agave harvested in the remote highlands of Durango. It offers a bold, smoky flavor reflecting its origin’s rugged terrain. Clase Azul Mezcal Guerrero is a vibrant mezcal made from rare papalote agave, capturing the bright, tropical flavors and the rich cultural heritage of the Guerrero region. And finally, Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí is a distinctive mezcal crafted from wild salmiana agave, offering herbaceous and earthy flavors that reflect the unique terroir of the San Luis Potosí region.
