San Luis Mezcal’s journey of Craftsmanship

San Luis Potosí Mezcal by Clase Azul is not just a drink; it is an experience that transports you to the heart of Mexico’s natural environment.

Origin

Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí hails from one of Mexico’s most diverse and fascinating regions. The state of San Luis Potosí is known for its semi-desert slopes, where the Agave salmiana grows, absorbing the unique soil composition, temperature, and water availability. These conditions, along with the careful cultivation of the agave, contribute to the mezcal’s rich, complex character.

The plant itself grows up to almost five feet tall, taking around 12 years to mature, allowing the agave to absorb the full range of flavours from the land. The production of this mezcal is an artisanal process, involving skilled craftsmen who oversee each step from harvesting the agave to distilling the spirit using traditional methods.
