Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal 70cl

This is sipping mezcal with a serious sense of place. Made in Guerrero from 100% papalote agave, it leans earthy, herbal, citrusy, and savoury rather than just shouting smoke at you. Nice.

If your mezcal journey started with smoky Margaritas, this is the bottle that says, “Cool, now let’s go deeper.” Papalote agave grows in Guerrero’s rugged mountain terrain, and you can feel that wild, mineral edge in the glass. It’s complex, but not homework.

• Nose: Grapefruit peel, fresh herbs, rosemary, toasted wood, and a nutty hint that keeps pulling you back in.
• Taste: Bright citrus, earthy agave, pepper, gentle smoke, and a savoury coastal note that feels almost mineral.
• Finish: Long, warm, and layered, with smoke, herbs, and citrus zest lingering without flattening everything else.

Drink it neat from a small glass and give it a minute to open up. Add an orange slice on the side if you want a classic mezcal move, or try it in a very fancy Oaxaca Old Fashioned when you’re feeling dangerous.

Food-wise, it loves bold flavours. Think grilled prawns, charred corn, tacos al pastor, roasted peppers, or anything with lime and chilli. Basically, if there’s fire, citrus, and salt involved, you’re in the right zone.

What makes this one stand out is the papalote agave. It brings a greener, more savoury profile than many Espadín-based mezcals, so you get smoke, sure, but also herbs, citrus peel, pepper, and a rugged earthy backbone. That’s the good stuff.

Fun Fact: Clase Azul Guerrero’s decanter is inspired by the jade colour connected to Guerrero’s landscape, with details that nod to local craftsmanship and the region’s deep mezcal culture.
