Clase Azul México is born from Mexican culture, tradition and artisanship; from the landscapes and authentic expressions that inspire our country’s artisans to imagine unique creations: exquisite spirits, precious objects, immersive experiences and destinations that will leave you breathless.
Artisans of an Exquisite Life
OUR INNOVATION
At Clase Azul México the traditions and culture of our Exquisite Mexico inspire our creations. Today, our legacy and philosophy of positive transformation guide us to innovate with the future of our brand in mind. Our vision of creating began with a wish to better connect with our people; to make links that transcend time. We seek to achieve harmony between tradition and innovation through objects and experiences that are closely bound to Mexican culture and hospitality. Our projects begin as dialogue and collaboration with institutions, artisans, artists and designers that are catalysts to sustainable change and help to elevate Mexican talent around the world.
OUR Decanters
The human touch distinguishes all of our creations and expresses itself through the artisanship of our decanters. To create them, our artisans transform our country’s diverse cultural expressions into objects of great meaning. This artisanal production requires great skill, creativity and dominance of artistic knowledge that has been passed down for generations. Our artisans, all of Mexican origin, carefully decorate our decanters by applying brushstrokes on their ceramic surface to create different patterns and by adorning them with decorative elements that give each of our tequilas their characteristic personality. For our mezcals, their decanters are finished with textured glazes and coloredcaps decorated with traditional artisanal techniques.
Master Distiller
Viridiana Tinoco, an innovative distiller with expertise in making agave spirits, is the person in charge of dreaming up and orchestrating the creation of our spirits from beginning to end —a process which,
beginning with the life cycle of the agave to the aging of the tequila—can take more than 11 years. Given her closeness with the art of making tequila, which includes the development of the unique yeasts that give Clase Azul spirits their characteristic profile, Tinoco likens the process to a symphony in which she brings different elements into harmony to give spirits their
character.
Tequila
Tequila, made exclusively from Blue Weber agave (Agave tequilana var. azul), is the quintessential Mexican spirit. Its cultural importance and presence on an international level led it to be granted the protection of a Mexican denomination of origin in 1974. The journey of our tequila at Clase Azul México begins in Los Altos de Jalisco—a region in the Mexican state that witnessed the birth of this spirit— where the elevation, type of soil and climatic conditions impart certain properties to the agave which give our spirits their unique profile. The jima (harvest) of our agave happens when the plant is around six years old, a process in which the leaves are removed almost flush with the core.
After the jima, the agave cores are slowly cooked for 72 hours in traditional masonry ovens to extract the naturally occurring sugars which are then fermented to produce alcohol. Once cooked, the agave cores are milled to extract their nectar, and our unique yeast is added to start the fermentation process. The resulting elixir from fermentation then goes through a double distillation in copper stills which results in Clase Azul Tequila Plata, the base for our aged tequilas. These tequilas are matured in oak casks depending on which expression we wish to achieve (reposado, añejo, extra añejo). To give each spirit a truly unique profile, casks of different types and origins can be used during the aging
process. In this last step, time is the artisan.
