Clase Azul Master Artisans By Angel Santos Limited Edition

This is the first limited edition of the Clase Azul Master Artisans collection.

This creation is the epitome of our artisanal tradition since it combines the experience of our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, with the virtuosity of ngel Santos, one of the most influential Mexican artisans of our time.

The striking artwork on the handcrafted decanter was inspired by the beauty of long-plumed pheasants. These birds symbolize light, prosperity, the sun, and wealth in various cultures. The blue color used for these illustrations represents the sky, air, and water.

The decanter also portrays five and six-petalled flowerssymbols that are traditionally used in artisanal clay techniques in Tonal, a small town in Jalisco renowned as the cradle of ceramics in Mexico.

Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, created the longest aged blend in Clase Azuls history. This extraordinary 8-year-old extra aejo tequila began its journey in casks previously used for American whiskey, where it was aged for 64 months. For the following 41 months of aging the tequila was distributed into three different types of sherry casks: amontillado, oloroso, and pedro ximnez, resulting in a blend with incomparable complexity.
