Clase Azul

For those unaware, Día de Muertos (or Day of the Dead in English) is a Mexican holiday that takes place on November 1^st and 2^nd 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 smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style

Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons

Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover

Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
