Review: Clase Azul Plata Tequila
Clase Azul Plata Tequila is made with 100% organic Tequilana Weber blue agaves grown for a minimum of 9 years. The pinas are cooked in old-fashioned brick ovens for 72 hours. Once cooled they are crushed to extract the juice which is blended with a proprietary yeast and fermented in open steel vats. The spirit is double distilled in copper alembic stills. Water refined in a five step process is married with the tequila. A triple filtration follows before bottling at 80 proof. Speaking of the bottle, over 100 artisans dedicate their time to creating each 14 inch tall Clase Azul bottle, one at a time. Clase Azul had been produced at NOM 1416. It is now produced at Casa Tradicion, NOM 1595. For the record I am reviewing a bottle crafted at NOM 1595. Read more
