CLASE AZUL MEZCAL SAN LUIS POTOSI 750ML

Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí

Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí is a premium, small-batch mezcal made from green agave (Agave salmiana), a variety native to the highlands of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. It is known for its distinctive combination of herbal, earthy, roasted, and subtly fruity flavors, presented in Clase Azul’s highly decorative ceramic bottle.

Detailed Description

1. Agave: 100% Agave salmiana, traditionally harvested in the San Luis Potosí region.
2. Production: The agave hearts are cooked in an underground stone-lined oven, imparting the characteristic roasted and smoky notes associated with mezcal.
3. Region: San Luis Potosí, Mexico, where the high-altitude, semi-arid environment contributes distinctive characteristics to the agave.
4. Flavor profile: Aromas and flavors typically feature roasted agave, green herbs, citrus, dried fruit, and earthy/mineral nuances, with a gentle smokiness rather than an overwhelmingly smoky character.
5. Texture: Rich and rounded, with a silky mouthfeel that develops into a long, complex finish.
6. Bottle: The hand-painted ceramic decanter is one of Clase Azul's signatures. Its design incorporates motifs inspired by the cultural heritage of the region and makes the bottle suitable for display or collection.
