Clase Azul San Luis Potosí
Commercial SLP salmiana – the bottle is doing the heavy lifting, but the liquid is legitimate
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Clase Azul
- Region: San Luis Potosí
- Agave: Salmiana
- ABV: 43%
- Price: $400 ($$)
Verdict
The consensus 4.8 is enthusiastic; we score 3.5 – the liquid is fine but you're paying $200+ for the ceramic bottle. Clase Azul's SLP salmiana at 43% is the range's most interesting bottle, the commercial production can't fully strip the agave's vegetal character – but the price premium is dictated by the hand-painted ceramic rather than what's inside. Derrumbes SLP at $55 outperforms in the glass. Overpaid-for for what's in the glass.
Clase Azul's SLP is the range's most interesting bottle
Tasting notes
Nose: Fresh asparagus. Then warm earth, dry hay, faint floral
Palate: Vegetal and mineral, salmiana's character holds despite commercial production
Finish: Long, cooling, herbal
The bottom line
Overpaid-for for what's in the glass
