Clase Azul Plata Tequila (750ml)
Produced from organically grown agaves. Captivates with its assertive, salty perfume that reveals exotic oily, smokey agave, brine, pepper and vanilla notes. Not as vivacious as some competitors, being semi-sweet, creamy textured with a juicy roasted pineapple, vanilla and brine mid-palate; Ends sweeter, warming and peppery with a candied lime fade. For those who prefer softer, less traditional styles. Sip or mix with abandon - so long as you can forget the price tag! Kosher certified. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... This is a striking blanco, unlike any other I’ve tried. On the nose: Agave and peppers, a mere hint at what’s in the glass. Take a sip and Clase Azul’s Plata goes nuts: There is so much going on here I scarcely know where to start. First off: It’s bracingly sweet, not sugary, but like Nutrasweet. Powerful and palate-jarring. If you can push past that, you get some of that agave character, plenty of nutty notes, a bit of spice, and a finish that tastes like a candy bar. It’s long and lasting, more like a liqueur than a tequila. If any 100% agave tequila could use lime and salt to balance it out — not because it’s alcoholically heavy in the slightest, mind you — this is it. - drinkhacker.com
