Pierde Almas Mezcal
Clase Azul Durango
Clase Azul Durango is a Joven mezcal from the state of Durango. It presents vibrant, fruity front notes with bright minerality and elegant smoke rather than aggressive char. Some sources describe it as having nice complexity, while others find the profile flat or muted with a dry finish. The expression offers hints of chocolate and soft mineral tones for those who prefer refined profiles over intense smokiness. The bottle features a distinctive dark, volcanic material design that stands out on display shelves despite debates regarding its value relative to other regional options.

About the Brand
Clase Azul is primarily a tequila company, but they also release mezcal. Their first mezcal release was made in the state of Durango where the extreme climate, the rich minerals of its soil, and the source of natural springs in the area, give particular force and complexity to its notes, making it a different mezcal than what is produced elsewhere Mexico. Their second release comes from the state of Guerrero. Both are packaged in tall and ornate ceramic bottles.
