From acclaimed steakhouses to swanky Japanese eateries, these Manhattan gems are the perfect locales for honoring the dads in your life with iconic Mexican spirits.
Advice-givers, joke-makers and our biggest supporters—dads hold a special role in our lives that deserves to be celebrated. So, give them a Father’s Day experience to savor this year with Clase Azul Mexico’s tequilas and mezcals at the freshest Manhattan spots. From the distinctive flavors to the exquisitely detailed decanters, each of Clase Azul Mexico’s offerings tells a remarkable story of the region where it’s crafted. Clase Azul combines tradition and luxury to produce spirits deeply inspired by the culture, craftsmanship and vitality of Mexico.
The ombre decanter of Clase Azul Tequila Gold is inspired by the sunset.
Clase Azul offers five different tequilas. The brand’s artisanal signature, Tequila Reposado, is a smooth tequila masterfully aged for eight months in American whiskey casks, while the unaged Plata captures the nuanced and fresh flavor of the agave. The Gold variety takes inspiration from Mexican sunsets, combining Clase Azul Tequila Plata, a special reposado tequila matured in French oak casks, and an extra añejo finished in sherry casks. Its gorgeous decanter features a ceramic base adorned by two 24-karat gold ribbons painted by hand. The character of the Anejo results from a magnificent journey of more than two years in American whiskey casks. And finally, there’s the Tequila Ultra—crafted for true connoisseurs, this spirit is the result of an extended aging period of five years in American whiskey and sherry casks and comes in a decanter adorned with platinum, silver and 24-karat gold.
Clase Azul’s three-member mezcal family includes the brand's newest icon, Mezcal San Luis Potosi, which is made with green agave, a plant native to the deserts in the Mexican state from which it takes its name. Featuring a crystalline liquid, Mezcal Guerrero is artisanally crafted from papalote agave, native to the humid highlands of Guerrero, while the Mezcal Durango is crafted with cenizo agave from the semi-arid highlands of Northern Mexico, giving the spirit a singular richness that’s mirrored by its striking decanter.
