Tequila Clase Azul Anejo Dia De Muertos 2024 Edition

Clase Azul unveiled a purple collectible decanter paying homage to “the vibrant and mystical atmosphere” of the holiday’s music. Around the bottle’s base, you’ll find a scene of skeletons and masked festival-goers strumming guitars and beating drums. The star of the show is a 24-karat gold accordion player dubbed “Catrina” — Clase Azul says her limbs comprise 40 individual parts that can be arranged into different poses.

Master distiller Viridiana Tinoco says that the liquid was aged for a total of 26 months in a combination of American and scotch whisky casks. The second step in the process was split between two barrel types; half the batch was placed in casks from the Speyside region and the other half in casks from Skye. The two were then blended into one, resulting in a final product that balances sweet, fragrant notes with distinct Scottish peat.

“For this edition, I wanted to reinterpret music into sensory chords that evoke nostalgia, seeking to
achieve these notes and different nuances through the barrels,” Tinoco told Observer. “On the one hand, [there are] aromas that remind us of incense and candles, and on the other, those delicate sweet notes that are part of the offerings.”
