Where many of the residents are deeply rooted in the mezcal-making process, Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí is made using green agave and features a full-bodied profile stemming from a time-honored regional process that involves steam-cooking in vaulted stone ovens, milling in a Chilean mill and double-distillation in copper stills. Aromatic notes of cooked agave, caramel, green chile, sweet fruit, freshly cut grass and wildflowers gives way to herbal flavors with hints of caramel, lime zest and clove. Founded in 1997, the company supports Mexico’s artisanal community through Fundación Causa Azul, a non-profit organization dedicated to collaborating with artisan communities to improve their quality of life while preserving Mexican folk-art as part of the country’s cultural heritage and legacy; ClaseAzul.com
