Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal: A Journey into Artisanal Excellence

Crafted with meticulous care and reverence for the agave plant, this mezcal embodies the essence of Guerrero’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.

Heritage and Origin

Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal is rooted in Guerrero’s long-standing tradition of mezcal-making, where the region’s unique terroir and climate contribute to the distinctive flavors of its agave spirits. The mezcal begins with the selection of mature Espadín agave plants, cultivated in the fertile soils of Guerrero’s mountainous terrain. These agave hearts, known as piñas, are harvested by hand and roasted in traditional earthen pits, a process that enhances their natural sweetness and imparts a smoky complexity to the mezcal.

Artisanal Production Methods

The production of Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal follows artisanal methods that have been passed down through generations. After roasting, the cooked agave piñas are crushed using a tahona stone wheel or traditional mallets to extract the juices, which are then fermented in open-air wooden vats with wild yeasts. This natural fermentation process allows the mezcal to develop its unique flavor profile, reflecting the nuances of Guerrero’s landscape and the expertise of its mezcaleros.

Distillation and Maturation

Following fermentation, Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills, a method that refines the spirit while preserving its character and complexity. The mezcal is then rested in oak barrels, where it ages gracefully, allowing the flavors to harmonize and mature over time. This aging process contributes to the mezcal’s smoothness and depth, enhancing its flavor profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spice.
