Clase Azul La Pinta Pomegranate Tequila Liqueur: A Vivid Fusion of Mexican Traditions
Intro (Heritage & Overview)
Experience La Pinta, a vibrant and artful blend of Clase Azul Plata tequila and the bright, tart essence of pomegranate. Inspired by the traditional “Ponche de Granada” from Tapalpa, Jalisco, this specialty spirit is aged for 12 months to let tequila and fruit merge seamlessly. Bottled at 38 proof (19% ABV), La Pinta is a unique, collectible liqueur that bridges agave heritage and refined flavor.
Key Characteristics
-
Infused Specialty Spirit: Combines premium Clase Azul Plata tequila with hand‑picked pomegranate juice in approximately 1:1 ratio.
-
Aged 12 Months: Allows gradual and thorough infusion for a seamless integration of flavors.
-
Traditional Roots: Crafted to honor regional Mexican traditions, inspired by local pomegranate punch ceremonies in Jalisco.
-
Distinct Red Bottle: The original red‑labeled edition (not the newer white redesign), recognizable and collectible.
-
Lower Proof & Smooth Profile: 19% ABV ensures easy sipping and cocktail versatility.
-
Limited & Discontinued: Though once globally distributed, recent reports suggest production has ceased, increasing its rarity among enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Fresh and fruity scent of ripe pomegranate, balanced by subtle agave and citrus top notes.
-
Palate: A vivid interplay of sweet and tart from pomegranate, grounded by smooth tequila with faint pepper and floral undertones.
-
Finish: Clean, velvety, and fruit-forward, with lingering sweetness, light spice, and refreshing citrus lift.
Awards & Recognition
No widely documented awards—yet it earned high praise from cocktail aficionados and reviewers alike for its flavor and novelty.
Overall Impression
Clase Azul La Pinta Pomegranate is an elevated expression within the Clase Azul line—less about ceramic grandeur and more about flavor-driven artistry. Its smooth sweetness, balanced acidity, and playful tartness make it perfect for both sipping neat or elevating cocktails in surprising ways (from Pinta margaritas to festive Royale spritzes). As fans have noted, it’s no longer in wide circulation, making the red‑bottled version a coveted collector’s item with true nostalgic charm.
Why It Stands Out
-
Aesthetic appeal meets traditional innovation
-
Rich pomegranate character melded with ultra‑smooth tequila artistry
-
Versatile in serving—from chilled neat to show-stopping cocktails
-
Increasing scarcity enhances its collectible status
