In this third installment of a five-year journey of portraying the most exquisite aspects of Día de Muertos, Clase Azul Tequila Día de Muertos Edición Limitada Aromas, is a tribute to aromas and the memories they evoke.

For this limited edition, Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco created an aromatic añejo tequila that was aged for 25 months in American whiskey casks and finished in Armagnac casks. The decoration of the Clase Azul Día de Muertos decanter expresses the importance of the cempasúchil flower during the celebration of Día de Muertos and seeks to evoke its enchanting aroma.

A deep marigold glaze covers the decanter, darkening in color as it reaches the base. On the back of the piece, a dreamlike illustration depicts a fantastic scene in which a cast of folkloric characters accompanied by xoloitzcuintles (Mexican hairless dogs) participate in a harvest of cempasúchil flowers of miraculous proportions.

The front of the decanter is adorned with an ornament bathed in 24-karat gold with a fine patina finish featuring bas-relief representations of the legends related to Día de Muertos and an arrangement of encapsulated cempasúchil petals. The intricate piece was made by hand by artisans from Tesistán, a community in the state of Jalisco, over the course of two weeks.
