{"product_id":"clase-azul-puebla-limited-edition","title":"Clase Azul Puebla 2021 Limited Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClase Azul Puebla 2021 Limited Edition is one of the rarest expressions in the Clase Azul range — only 300 bottles produced, containing an extra-aged tequila matured in antique French oak barrels, presented in a striking cobalt and yellow ceramic decanter that celebrates the cultural exchange between Mexico and France born from the Battle of Puebla and the historical significance of Cinco de Mayo.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Puebla edition's thematic concept connects directly to its production: French oak aging honors the French-Mexican cultural relationship that the state of Puebla embodies, while the cobalt and yellow ceramic decanter — featuring the fleur de lis (French symbol of luxury) alongside the Mexican agave (symbol of health and fertility in indigenous cultures) — visually represents the cultural fusion. Antique French oak differs from new American or European oak in ways that matter: older barrels have less extractable tannin and a gentler wood influence, imparting subtle vanilla, light spice, and a slightly rounder integration than the intense new oak character that younger barrels produce. The tasting notes — licorice, toffee, coffee beans, blackberries, cacao, and raisins on the nose; toasted oak, nutmeg, and orange peel on the palate; butterscotch and crystallized honey on the finish — reflect the complex depth that antique French oak develops over the extra aging period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Licorice, toffee, coffee beans, cinnamon, agave syrup, blackberries, blueberry jam, cocoa, and raisins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak, nutmeg, blackberries, cinnamon, cacao, orange peel, vanilla, and raisins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and strong — butterscotch and crystallized honey finishing with light citrus\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clase Azul, Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1416, Jesus Maria, Arandas)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-Aged Tequila, Antique French Oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 bottles worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDecanter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-crafted cobalt and yellow ceramic — fleur de lis and agave motifs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clase-azul\"\u003eClase Azul collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\"\u003e[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the cultural significance of the Puebla edition?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Puebla edition celebrates the cultural exchange between Mexico and France rooted in the Battle of Puebla — the historical origin of Cinco de Mayo.
