Clase Azul México has introduced the Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Música, marking the fourth release in its annual collection — Nuestros Recuerdos. This limited-edition tequila is designed to celebrate the vibrant sounds associated with the Día de Muertos festival, a significant cultural event in Mexico that honors deceased loved ones. A total of 10,000 decanters will be produced of Clase Azul México's Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Música. Each will be crafted to reflect the rich musical traditions that accompany this festive occasion.
The tequila is aged for 26 months, initially in American whiskey barrels before being divided between Scotch whisky casks from the Isle of Skye and Speyside. This unique aging process imparts a complex flavor profile that features smoky notes reminiscent of the rituals associated with the holiday, along with sweeter undertones that evoke the traditional offerings placed on altars.
