Clase Azul Anejo Day Of The Dead 2024

Clase Azul Tequila Dia de Muertos Edicion Limitada Musica 2024

Housed in a gorgeous purple collectible decanter paying homage to “the vibrant and mystical atmosphere” of the holiday’s music. Around the bottle’s base, you’ll find a scene of skeletons and masked festival-goers strumming guitars and beating drums. The star of the show is a 24-karat gold accordion player dubbed “Catrina” — Clase Azul says her limbs comprise 40 individual parts that can be arranged into different poses.

But what of the tequila itself?

Master distiller Viridiana Tinoco says that the liquid was aged for a total of 26 months in a combination of American and scotch whisky casks. The second step in the process was split between two barrel types; half the batch was placed in casks from the Speyside region and the other half in casks from Skye. The two were then blended into one, resulting in a final product that balances sweet, fragrant notes with distinct Scottish peat.

Intense gold in colour, with honey, peat smoke, nutmeg and dried plum on the nose. Full bodied with more peat smoke and honey on the palate accompanied by a glimpse of lingering dark chocolate.

Limited to only a handful of bottles for the Australian market, this is as collectable as a Clase Azul bottling gets.
