The Salmania agave imparts a distinctively smooth, yet complex profile, setting this mezcal apart from its Oaxacan counterparts. This rare agave species, combined with the region's unique terroir, yields a spirit that is both reflective of its heritage and distinct in its expression.
The production process of Clase Azul San Luis Potosí Mezcal adheres to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

The result is a liquid masterpiece that unfolds on the palate with notes of green chili, wild herbs, and a hint of citrus, leading to a smooth, long finish that resonates with the warmth of the Mexican sun.
The bottle itself is a work of art, embodying the aesthetic richness of Mexican culture and the meticulous attention to detail for which Clase Azul is renowned.
