Product Description:
Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi is a unique and artisanal mezcal that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico.2 This mezcal is crafted using 100% Salmiana Crassispina agave, a variety that is native to the region and imparts a distinct flavor profile. The agaves are slow-roasted in traditional underground ovens, then crushed using a tahona (stone wheel), and fermented naturally. The mezcal is double-distilled in copper pot stills, creating a smooth and refined spirit.
The bottle itself is a work of art, hand-crafted by Mexican artisans and featuring intricate details that reflect the culture and traditions of San Luis Potosi.3 The red color symbolizes the rich earth of the region, and the design elements highlight the local flora and fauna.
