Clase Azul Artisanal Mezcal from Guerrero 750ml

• Nose: Smoke, roasted agave, wild herbs, earthy minerals and a dried fruit sweetness from the cupreata. More layered than standard Espadín mezcal.
• Palate: Bold and earthy. Smoke and roasted agave lead, followed by mineral character, dried herbs, a touch of dark fruit and a natural agave sweetness from the wild-harvested plant.
• Finish: Long, warm and smoky, with a dry mineral note that lingers. The wild agave character stays present well after the glass is empty.

• Wild Agave Cupreata: a rare species that takes 12–15 years to mature, producing depth and complexity that farmed Espadín can't replicate
• Guerrero state production: not Oaxaca — a distinct mezcal tradition and terroir that's genuinely different
• Full traditional process: pit roasting, tahona extraction, wild yeast fermentation, copper pot distillation, no additives
• Hand-crafted Clase Azul ceramic decanter, a collectible piece in its own right
• A rare opportunity to taste what mezcal looks like well beyond the standard Espadín category

Produced in Guerrero state, not Oaxaca, which is where the vast majority of commercial mezcal originates. Guerrero has a long tradition of mezcal production using wild agave varieties, and the Agave cupreata found in its mountainous terrain produces a distinctly different spirit to the Espadín-dominant Oaxacan style.

Clase Azul has applied the same craft commitment that defines their tequila range to this mezcal. The wild agave is harvested by hand, cooked in traditional underground pit ovens, fermented naturally with wild yeasts and distilled in copper pot stills. The full traditional process, with no shortcuts.

• Serious mezcal drinkers who want to explore beyond Espadín and Oaxaca
• Agave enthusiasts after a wild-harvested species with genuine rarity and age in the ground
• Collectors who want a Clase Azul ceramic decanter that's as unusual inside as it is to look at
• Gift buyers looking for something exceptional for someone who knows their agave spirits

• Neat, always: this is too complex to mix — pour it, sit with it, take your time
• A slice of orange alongside is the classic mezcal accompaniment if you want something with it
• Let it sit in the glass a few minutes before the first sip — the wild agave complexity opens up
• Keep the decanter once it's empty — hand-crafted ceramic worth displaying on its own

Wild Agave Cupreata from Guerrero is genuinely rare — a species that takes over a decade in the ground, harvested by hand, made the traditional way, and presented in a Clase Azul ceramic decanter. This is not a casual mezcal. It's for someone who wants to understand what mezcal can be outside of the standard Espadín expressions, and it makes the point clearly from the first pour. One of the most complete bottles we carry in the mezcal category.
