Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh and herbal fragrances, orange peel, lemon and green apple.

Palate: Cooked agave, lemon peel, green apple and enduring herbal notes in a citrus finish.

At Mr. Chow we find the lemon and green apple come through first, with the herbal note staying on after.

How It Differs

The brand describes the Plata as unaged and as the cornerstone of its expressions of tequila. Clase Azul Reposado is aged for eight months in American whiskey casks and is called the brand’s first icon and signature creation.

How to Serve

Serve it with fresh cow’s milk cheese, white raw fish, poached prawn or oyster, or with fruit such as guava, green apple or jackfruit, the pairings Clase Azul suggests. If the orange peel in the aroma appeals, an orange liqueur such as Cointreau Liqueur is a natural next bottle.

Ideal for: gifting, celebrations, and anyone starting with the brand’s cornerstone bottle.

Pairs with: our picks for its citrus, green apple and herbal notes are Chinese-Malaysian steamed fish with ginger and oyster omelette, Malay ikan bakar with a squeeze of lime, and Indian-Malaysian prawn tikka.
