Clase Azul Plata 750 ml

There is no barrel hiding anything in Clase Azul Plata, an unaged blanco tequila that shows the house style straight off the still. Slow-cooked Blue Weber agave from Los Altos, Jalisco leads the way — sweet and lightly vegetal on the nose, then vanilla, bright orange, and a soft peppery warmth that fades clean. Casa Tradición distills it to 80 proof and bottles it in a hand-decorated ceramic decanter that Mexican artisans paint one at a time, white and cobalt blue. This is a sipping blanco first: chill it lightly or pour it neat, and keep it for the guest who swears unaged tequila is only for shots.

How to drink Clase Azul Plata

A thin slice of orange or a few flakes of sea salt on the side brings out the sweet, vegetal agave without masking it the way lime and a shot glass would. Serve it in a small tulip glass rather than a rocks glass — there's more going on here than a shot format lets you notice.
