{"product_id":"clase-azul-guerrero-mezcal","title":"Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis luxury artisanal mezcal originates from Mexico, produced in the state of Guerrero in southwestern Mexico. Handcrafted by Clase Azul Mexico, this expression celebrates the rich terroir and rare botanical biodiversity of Guerrero's mountain regions. Unlike traditional mezcals made from Agave Espadín, Clase Azul Guerrero is distilled exclusively from 100% wild Papalote Agave (\u003cem\u003eAgave cupreata\u003c\/em\u003e), a rare agave species that grows natively on the high-altitude slopes of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountain range, taking up to 12 to 15 years to fully mature. Bottled at a strength of 84 proof (42.0% ABV) in a handcrafted, sea-green ceramic decanter with a hand-painted brass cap inspired by traditional Guerrero lacquerware, it presents a floral, herbal, and refined vision of wild agave spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/strong\u003e This unaged mezcal presents completely crystal clear with brilliant silver highlights in the glass. On the nose, it is delicate, green, and extraordinarily aromatic, opening with vibrant scents of grapefruit zest, fresh rosemary, and green pepper, underlaid by mossy forest floor, damp earth, and a soft, ethereal whisper of sweet wood smoke. On the palate, it feels soft, silky, and medium-bodied, delivering an elegant entry of cooked agave sweetness, lemon blossom, and fresh seaweed, which quickly opens into layers of tobacco leaf, dried oregano, and subtle tropical fruit sweetness like green papaya. The finish is long, clean, and herbal, leaving a trailing impression of mineral slate, dried herbs, white pepper spice, and a very gentle, refined smoke. The wild Papalote agave produces a markedly lighter, more floral and herbal profile compared to the deeper, smokier Espadín or Durangensis varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccolades\u003c\/strong\u003e Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal stands as one of the flagship releases within Clase Azul's high-end agave portfolio. Earning acclaim across luxury lifestyle and spirit review platforms such as \u003cem\u003eRobb Report\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTequila Matchmaker\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eDistiller\u003c\/em\u003e, critics frequently praise the bottling for showcasing the rare, aromatic nuances of \u003cem\u003eAgave cupreata\u003c\/em\u003e. Commentators note that it skillfully avoids the heavy, overpowering creosote smoke of commercial mezcals, prioritizing herbal complexity, bright citrus, and mineral elegance instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300805 - Southern Glazer'S Wine And Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44325151080535,"sku":"881450","price":550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Clase-Azul-Guerrero-Mezcal.jpg?v=1790098870","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/clase-azul-guerrero-mezcal","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
