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.
