This $1,900 Día de Muertos tequila is more than a drink — it’s a work of art

Clase Azul

For those unaware, Día de Muertos (or Day of the Dead in English) is a Mexican holiday that takes place on November 1st and 2nd every year. It’s a celebration to honor the lives of deceased relatives and loved ones. Each year, to celebrate this beloved holiday, luxury tequila brand Clase Azul México releases a new limited-edition Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos. This year is no different.

Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Recuerdos

The fifth and final limited-edition Día de Muertos expression, this expression is called  Nuestros Recuerdos, which translates to “Our Memories.” Only 10,000 decanters of this rare tequila will be released.

The tequila itself is a blend of spirits matured between twelve and thirty-eight months in first-use American whiskey barrels under the direction of Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco. Some of the agave was cooked in a traditional pit oven.

The decanter

While the tequila is memorable, the decanter is the real show-stopper. This ivory-colored decanter is covered in artwork by Mexican artist Erika Rivera. The images show a traditional ofrenda surrounded by the spirits of loved ones. It’s adorned with an ornament handcrafted by Milagros de Latón, a family-run brass workshop in Tesistán, Jalisco. It’s shaped like a locked and covered in 24-karat gold. It opens into an obsidian cameo that was created to be reflective like the mirrors often placed on ofrendas so spirits can recognize their image. It also features intricately designed milagritos in bas-relief.

Where can I buy it?

Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Recuerdos is now available in a 1-liter decanter for the suggested retail price of $1,900.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games
Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.

Jagermeister goes citrus with new orange release
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Alcohol is the ultimate gathering tool. No matter what event you have coming up, you can almost always bet on a good drink (unless it is a baby shower; then maybe not). From the moment I joined the United States Army, I became quite familiar with the presence of Jagermeister. It was a constant pillar of our get-togethers for two main reasons. The first was that we didn’t make a lot of money, and it has always been one of the more accessible liquors when we walked down the booze aisles of the Class 6 (picture a 711 on a military post). The second reason is that it is the perfect shot drink. It never needed a mixer. It is designed to be poured as a shot straight from the freezer. However, Jager is also versatile enough to make some great cocktails. Now, the brand dropped the perfect summer upgrade with an orange twist.

Jagermeister has always been about bringing people together. – Cindy Wang Simms, CMO,Jägermeister US.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.
