Product details
Clase Azul Tequila Blanco Ahumado draws its story from the heart of Jalisco and embodies a “ballad of fire,” where ancestral nixtamal-style techniques merge with high‑end tequila traditions. The spirit begins with 100% Blue Weber agave grown in Los Altos de Jalisco, cooked slowly in a pit oven lined with firewood and volcanic stones—an homage to ancient mezcal-making lineage . Distilled to a shimmering crystal-clear Blanco at 45% ABV, this tequila is housed in Clase Azul’s signature semi‑opaque ceramic-glass decanter, textured like volcanic stone and topped with a copper-toned emblem—a visual and tactile celebration of the smoky heritage it holds.
On the nose, expect evocative hints of smoked agave, fresh plum, and red apple that immediately engage the senses. The palate opens with bold smoked-agave and zesty fresh lemon, layered over a mineral-driven core, culminating in a silky finish with lingering smoky undertones—a nuanced, full-bodied expression that is both refined and vibrant. Ideal pairings include grilled seafood or meats to echo the smoke profile, citrusy ceviche to brighten the citrus notes, and creamy avocado- or cheese-based dishes to complement its richness and smooth texture. For an elevated tasting experience, match it with smoky-sweet mole dishes or grilled vegetables sprinkled with sea salt and fresh herbs—each sip offering a harmonious interplay of tradition, technique, and terroir.
