Founded in Guadalajara in 1997 by drinks entrepreneur Arturo Lomeli, Clase Azul is Mexico’s first luxury spirits brand. One of the distillery’s most recent release is Clase Azul Gold, a limited-edition, medium-bodied tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave. The nose offers tantalising fruit aromas including figs, green apples, blood oranges and agave syrup. The palate is complemented by notes of chocolate nibs, ginger and toasted wood. A highly coveted collectable item as only 6,000 bottles were released.
