Spirit Cartel is bringing ultra-premium spirit Tequila Clase Azul to the UK market.
Strictly for aficionados, the hand-crafted tequila is created by Clase Azul Spirits. It is produced from 100% organic Weber Blue Agave and is presented in ornate bottles, which are made and hand-painted by artisans of the Mexican village of Jesús María in the State of Jalisco.
The agave for Tequila Clase Azul is hand-selected and then slow cooked in traditional stone ovens for 72 hours—steamed for 24 hours, left to rest with the oven doors closed for 24 hours and cooled naturally for 24 hours. A unique strain of yeast is used in fermentation and the liquid is then distilled in pot stills to ensure the highest quality spirit, which is diluted with natural spring water. Tequila Clase Azul is aged in the finest quality barrels, which are hand-selected by the master distiller.
“Clase Azul is more than just tequila—it’s a religion. This range sits in a class of its own, based purely on quality and pedigree and steeped in ancient Mexican tradition. It has a clear point of difference,” said Spirit Cartel Consiglieri, Charles Marshall. “With its breathtakingly beautiful bottles, Clase Azul gives retailers and operators the opportunity to take tequila connoisseurs on a unique experiential journey.”
Quality comes at a price however, and your bank balance is also likely to be taken on a unique experiential journey if you’re tempted to purchase one of the four variants which range in price from £2,399 for Tequila Clase Azul Ultra Extra Añejo down to a more modest £94.99 for Tequila Clase Azul Plata.
