Product Overview
Inspired by legendary tales from San Luis Potosí, the spirit and decanter of our newest icon capture the essence of this state’s desert slopes and valleys. This mezcal is made with green agave, a plant native to the deserts in the state of San Luis Potosí.
Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosí is made from green agave (Agave salmiana), a variety of agave native to the semi-desert slopes and plains of San Luis Potosí. In its natural environment, the plant is considered mature at around 12 years of age, when it reaches a height of almost five feet. Its growth and rate of maturity depend on factors such as temperature, soil composition and the availability of water.
The decanter made for this edition is inspired by the history of the Huachichil people, a nomadic tribe that roamed across the desert of San Luis Potosí in Central Mexico. The red color of the ceramic alludes to the name of these people, which means "red-painted heads." The carvings on the base of the decanter are symbols of its stories: the vast desert and mountains that make up its territory, green agave leaves typical of the region and the red finch which is of great significance to the Huachichil people.
