Process & Profile
Clase Azul Gold is crafted from 100% organic Blue Weber Agave sourced from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Each agave is meticulously cultivated for at least six years before being slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens for 72 hours, enhancing the natural caramelized sweetness. The tequila undergoes a dual distillation process and combines three distinct profiles: - Plata (young tequila): Provides freshness and vibrancy. - Reposado: Aged in French oak barrels for a smooth, woody complexity. - Extra Añejo: Matured in American whiskey casks and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding depth and rich, sherry-influenced notes. These elements are artfully blended to create a medium-bodied tequila with a soft amber glow and golden highlights.
