Does Clase Azul have agave?

Answered by Joseph Earl

Clase Azul Reposado is made with 100% Blue Weber Agave. This agave plant is native to Mexico and is known for its high sugar content, which is essential in the production of tequila. The agave used in Clase Azul is carefully selected, ensuring that only the finest agaves are used in the production process.

The agave plants used in Clase Azul are grown in the Jalisco region of Mexico, which is known for its optimal agave-growing conditions. The agaves are allowed to mature for at least 8 to 10 years before they are harvested. This lengthy maturation period allows the agaves to develop their distinct flavors and sugars, resulting in a tequila of exceptional quality.

Once the agaves are harvested, they are slowly cooked in traditional stone ovens. This slow-cooking process helps to release the natural sugars from the agave, which are then fermented and distilled to create the tequila. The slow-cooking method also imparts a unique flavor profile to the tequila, adding depth and complexity.

After distillation, the tequila is aged in oak for a minimum of eight months. This aging process allows the tequila to mellow and develop further, acquiring additional flavors from the wood. The resulting Clase Azul Tequila Reposado is smooth, rich, and full-bodied, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak.

The decanter used for Clase Azul Tequila Reposado is also a symbol of Mexican tradition and craftsmanship. Each decanter is hand-painted in cobalt blue, with a distinctive “feathered” design. This attention to detail and the use of traditional techniques make each decanter a work of art in its own right.

Clase Azul Tequila Reposado is made with 100% Blue Weber Agave, carefully selected and slow-cooked to extract the natural sugars and flavors. Its aging process in oak barrels adds further complexity to the tequila, resulting in a truly unique and exceptional spirit.
