San Luis Mezcal’s journey of Craftsmanship

San Luis Potosí Mezcal by Clase Azul is not just a drink; it’s 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 flavors 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.

History and Legacy of Clase Azul:

Founded with the mission to bring the finest spirits to the world, Clase Azul is a name synonymous with quality and artistry. The company’s deep connection to Mexican culture is evident in its use of local ingredients and the involvement of artisans in the production process. With the release of Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí, the brand further cements its reputation for excellence in the world of Mexican spirits.

Unique bottle design:

Each 70cl decanter of Mezcal San Luis Potosí is a deep crimson red colour, handcrafted and adorned with red hues and intricate details that represent the spirit of San Luis Potosía (a place where the red finches soar above the mountains and valleys, and where nomads once traveled, bringing their culture and stories). 

The bottle design also honors Mexico’s Nahuatl language and Aztec heritage, with the red paint symbolizing the vibrant life and energy of the region.
